OverviewIt's the 60's. A fifteen year old boy from North Yorkshire has emigrated to Australia on the Big Brother Program. He has left an abusive situation with family, teachers etc, believing he would have a better life and learn a trade. Unbeknownst to him he has jumped from the proverbial 'frying pan into the fire'. After leaving the Training Farm he is sent to his first job in the Bush. Treated like a slave, hard work, he does have the first opportunity to attempt to to shear a sheep! As difficult as it was, he decides, then and there, that he is going to become a 'Gun Shearer'. A gun shearer he never becomes but a shearer fast and clean enough to make a living in any shed. He. still a boy, lives, works and travels with men who, because of his attitude towards hard work, is given respect. He meets wonderful characters, characters that Dickens himself would have enjoyed meeting. Hard working, foul-mouthed men of the world of shearing. His Yorkshire accent (which he works very hard to get rid of) is a constant source of ridicule. Finally, he sounds like any other Aussie!
