While Snowy and Simmo are wangling their way into whatever work they can find, Snowy tells tales of the Great Depression, featuring the notorious and resourceful Chilla O'Rourke - gambler, horseman, friend to the battler, lurk merchant extraordinaire.

These astutely observed and unsentimental stories open a window into rural Australia during one of the toughest periods in its history, displaying a world of swagmen, drovers and saddlers, a tough place where people battle to survive, but also a place of casual heroism and humour.
