- Summary:
- More than 70 years ago, the ancient legend of Gurawul the whale was passed down to Max Dulumunmun Harrison by his grandfather and uncles. He promised them that one day he would travel to the southern land, Tasmania, and search for the whale dreaming of their Ancestors. This book tells the story of Max’s journey to fulfil that promise, and how he eventually came face to face with Gurawul.
