Rabbits ought not to walk upright nor children carry guns; and parents should not abandon their children. But life is complex in the arid Australia Outback; and the imagination of a child unconscious – drifting from reality to dreamtime as drought turns the landscape to torrents of muddy liquid gold - is no less bright than that of any child anywhere in the Universe. Destinies are forged in the panic and in the search for the lost child and the lost dreams of an imaginary; yet real child’s world.
