On the coast of Southern Australia's Coorong, young Mike Kingley (Greg Rowe) was used to the isolation of life with his reclusive fisherman dad (Peter Cummins). However, after he comes across a trio of pelican chicks orphaned by hunters-and makes an ally and mentor of the Aborigine nomad (David Gulpilil) who chased the poachers off-he'd receive indelible lessons about nature and life, in this acclaimed Australian family staple from the Colin Thiele children's novel.
