More DescriptionMitji had lived with the Aboriginal tribe for as long as she could remember but with her white skin, thin nose and red hair she is not one of them. She decides to go on a long walkabout, in search of the walypalya, the tribe with hair and skin like her own, who had come from the great waters. On her wanderings she finds a white man, half-dead in the heat, and nurses him back to health. Mitji becomes Meg and learns to wear clothes, to sleep in a bed, to sit on a chair and to speak English. In the world of the walypalya, Meg returns to England and finds happiness. Only the knowledge that she learned from the Aborigines will help her and her friends to survive.
