Harry

 

When 18-year-old Harry is just beginning to find his feet after a difficult childhood in post-WWI Adelaide, he experiences heart-rending rejection and runs away to the Australian outback where, as an awkward station hand, he discovers a rare talent for shearing. Success as a gun shearer gives him confidence he’s only dreamed of but also brings with it, the biggest battle of his life. A challenge that needs someone bigger than himself to overcome.
 
Harry is a fictional narrative based on the true story of a profoundly deaf boy who endures bullying, abandonment and coming of age escapades. Then as a man, he encounters the tough but honest breed of men from the Aussie bush where he discovers success, failure, true friendship and love. Filled with humourous tales of life in the incredible Australian outback, it brings hope to each of us that have ever faced a life impacting-challenge.
