Leverson the narrator, at the centre of these stories calls himself a 'people freak'. Seduced by north Queensland's sultry beauty and unique strangeness, he is as fascinated by the invading hordes of misfits from the south as by the old established Queenslanders.
Leverson's ironical yet compassionate view makes every story, every incident, a pointed example of human weakness - or strength.
