As an Elder she has successfully coordinated and facilitated culture camps for adults and children on the lands of her people. This book tells the story of one of those camps. When the boys and their mothers from nearby Wilcannia arrive on the old Menindee Mission on the Darling River to attend one of Aunty Beryl's a camps they are unaware that their lives will be forever changed by their experiences. A hilarious event in the lives of unsuspecting boys, who before their experience with Aunty Baryl, thought they knew everything!"--Publisher
• Teenage boys and their mums come to the Old Menindee Mission to attend a camp. They are looking forward to catching fish, sitting around the campfire, and hunting for goanna. What they dont bargain for is the goanna having some ideas of its own
