Contents Matthew stood on the top of the rocky ridge and shaded his eyes with his hand. He was suddenly aware of all his senses. He felt the warmth of the sun striking his flesh, and the light wind that dried the sweat on his neck. He heard the distant, isolated sound of a bird calling once. In his stomach he felt the clutching of fear. He was lost. Matthew sets off alone to camp at Goanna Gorge. He is determined to find the Aboriginal rock paintings he knows are hidden there. But his plans fall apart when he realises he cannot find his way back. The strange wild country of the Kimberley, which Matthew thought he knew so well, seems to mock him with its secrets -- until he meets the girl with no name .
Summary Matthew sets off alone to camp at Goanna Gorge in the Kimberleys. He is determined to find the Aboriginal rock paintings he knows are hidden there. But his plans fall apart when he cannot find his way back, until he meets the girl with no name
