The potential profit would be huge, but so were the risks. It was the unpredictable and dauntingly hot wet season; the forbidding region was infested with snakes and crocodiles, and the cattle would have to be swum out across a river notorious for its dramatic tidal surges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverything was going according to plan when, out of the blue, a cyclone struck, flooding the area and wreaking devastation. The cattle and horses were scattered, the camp and equipment destroyed. Jack, his young son, and a teenage stockman were left without food, fire, shelter, or a means of escape. No one knew their exact location as they were covering a huge area during the muster, and they were expected to be gone for some weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs time passed without rescue and they grew weaker, Jack decided their only chance was to head for a cattle station some fifty kilometres away. Though he knew it would be deserted for the wet season, Jack was pinning all his hopes on finding assistance there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46373024497900,"sku":"9781863255790","price":30.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10770613482851.jpg?v=1744821208"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/michael-keenan.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
