N2  - Western Australia, 1909. Fifteen-year-old William Watson sets off from Fremantle on the steamer SS Doreen May, his father's wide-eyed assistant on a north-west expedition. As the pair travel north over sea and across land, William will meet fine men, and foul. He will lose his heart and find his bearings on a map marked with more danger and splendour than one young man could ever have dared to dream
