Fortælling om en 19-årig forældreløs dreng, hvis største ønske er at blive skovfoged

Balulu, the desert hunter of Australia, never wore clothing, never saw a building and never saw any human being except his own tribesmen. Life was a constant search for food and water, with the help of Warrigal, a big, red-furred wild dingo which Balulu had tamed. When he realized that Warrigal would be the next dingo put on the cooking fires of his starving tribe, he took his weapons, his curved boomerangs (which were deadly enough to kill tigers and kangaroos) his long spears, his throwing stick and his implements for making fire. With his dog, he started across the unmarked wilderness. His unbelievable endurance and keen senses, plus Warrigal''s loyalty, made his fight a vivid story of the drive to survive.
