Robert inscribed the truth of it in simple unadorned prose. His way of telling it an echo of the calm truth Frankie and he had known together in the vastness of that country, the silence and the stillness of the endless Leichhardt scrubs, a land where they themselves became the substance of their own dreams, the mirage of their steady advance across the plain dancing on the vacant skyline, the yellow cloud of fine dust rising above the shuffling herd. It was where the story lay, waiting within him for the telling. The poetry of it. If Frankie were ever to read it, it must be for him the way things had been for both of them. The abrasion of his life, the knowledge of injustice in the conditions of his days and in the days of his mob, the corrosive cruelty of their lot as outcasts in their own country, their terrible loss of dignity and freedom in the face of the white man’s indecent overlordship. Robert heard the sad condition of injustice as the steady background hum of his story. The subdued anger and the quiet decency of the black stockmen in the face of their humiliation.
