520			_aA true story of extraordinary courage and endurance, set in the South Island in the 1870's and 80's. Christian Hilly, a young shepherd working at Suffolk Downs, a property in North Otago, is asked by his boss to sail to Melbourne to escort 500 merino ewes back to the port of Oamaru. Christian's trials begin soon after he embarks on the trip back to New Zealand, and increase when he and his flock find themselves abandoned hundreds of miles from their destination. Aided by his three faithful dogs, Christian sets off for home, and his resulting adventures make an unforgettable tale of skill and determination in the face of enormous odds.
