Son of Gurrewa — Kev Richardson

Children of Australia's founding convicts grow up in a unique environment. On the one hand, convicts labour in chains under lashweilding redcoats; on the other, immigrant farmers strive to carve out a living, reluctant convicts their only available labour.
Adam seeks his father knowing only that he 'went bush' to live with Aborigines. Kept from him was that his father, a convict bolter, was killed by redcoats in a frontier skirmish.
The sorry hand of fate most-times visits only hardship on a developing community, yet occasionally, some pawns in the game of life find Lady Luck lends a hand. The odds, for Adam, fall a little each way.
