Product Description
Meet Calypso, a young Nukunu man in Rasta guise, fresh out of high school with nowhere to go. After failing to snag his dream job, Calypso starts packing shelves at a local health food shop where he feels pressured to help the owner with his out-there plan to gather native plants for natural remedies.His mother points him in the direction of his family living in the Southern Flinders Ranges, and with the support of a sassy, smart Ngadjuri girl whose passion for cricket rivals his own, he discovers that his people, their land and their culture are the perfect medicine.
