Synopsis
Over the Range is a 1937 book by Australian author Ion L. Idriess. It tells the story of a police patrol in the Kimberley region of Western Australia in 1933. The patrol, led by Constable Laurie O'Neill, is tasked with tracking down a group of cattle spearers who have been terrorizing the region. The patrol travels through some of the most remote and rugged terrain in Australia. They face heat, thirst, and danger at every turn. Along the way, they encounter Aboriginal people, wild animals, and the harsh realities of life in the outback. The patrol eventually tracks down the cattle spearers and brings them to justice. However, the journey takes a heavy toll on the men. They are physically and emotionally exhausted, and they have seen things that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Over the Range is a classic Australian adventure story. It is a tale of courage, determination, and survival. It is also a powerful reminder of the harsh realities of life in the outback.
