Description

Conway inhabits an apocalyptic future in a continent caught up in a violent struggle for control of water. He is a whitefulla whose heart and spiritual connections are black. On the run from the Water Board flunkies who hate him but need his water divining skills to survive, Conway dreams his way back to the arrival of Europeans in Western Australia when Captain Charles Fremantle chooses to throw off the mantle of Empire and join the Nyoongar people.

Reviews

'The Waterboys is a fist-clenching and nail-biting re-imagining of Australian history; what is, what could have been, or what really was.' - Howard Pedersen, author of Jandamarra and the Bunuba Resistance.
