“A lonely stretch of Transcontinental railway in the mulga country that approaches the barren wastes of the almost uninhabited Nullarbor Plain is maintained by a tough gang of fettlers – the Wayward Gang. Life in a fettler’s camp is no picnic. The conditions are such that only the brawny non-conformists and the unskilled misfits can be recruited. Many of them are little more than drifters attracted perhaps by the knowledge that they can’t so easily “blow” their wages so far from the temptations of the city. The aura of booze, brawling, and sex which surrounds this little nomadic community helps to build up a tension conducive to violence. Only Dale, the hard-bitten, hard-slogging gang boss, and David Trennery, a young writer who has joined the gang in search of colourful literary material, struggle against the explosive situation which is developing.”
