This is a unique and fascinating story of adventure, comradeship and courage, entwined in a desperate fight for survival. The backdrop is the beautifully wild domain of the western grey kangaroo - the diminishing forest and woodland of an ancient continent.
Everywhere on this planet that man has gone, he has pillaged and plundered with wild abandon. Whatever he wants, he takes. If another species stands in his way or can be of some value, then he mercilessly removes, abuses or exploits it. Most creatures can do very little in the midst of such an onslaught, they are simply swamped by the tsunami of greed and technology. Faced with a shrinking habitat, this often means death. On occasion, however, an animal becomes determined not to accept, without a fight, its own extinction.

Most creatures can do very little in the midst of such an onslaught, they are simply swamped by the tsunami of greed and technology. Faced with a shrinking habitat, this often means death. On occasion, however, an animal becomes determined not to accept, without a fight, its own extinction.
This is a book that takes you to another world, the mystical and often dangerous world of the Australian bush, and delivers you right into the heart of this life and death struggle. Share the hopes and aspirations, trials and setbacks, the bloodshed and heartache as Bentear, and his brave band of kangaroos, battle for the right to exist. Forced to cope with all that nature and man can throw at them, they refuse to disappear from the land without a fight. They turn to each other and their unbreakable bond of friendship, as well as their unshakable faith in their leader, to battle their way out of the darkness that closes in around them.
