The spellbinding true story of a young woman's adventure in the Australian outback as she joins a small crew on an abandoned cattle station and drags feral cattle in from the wild.One thousand square miles of coastal scrub--inundated by monsoon floods in summer, baked dry in winter, and filled with the most deadly animals in the world--Stilwater seems an unlikely home for a cattle operation. But in the countless miles beyond the station compound roam tens of thousands of cows, many entirely feral from a long period of neglect.Rafael and a ragged crew of ringers and stockmen have been hired to bring them in for drafting. Over a season, they use helicopters, motorcycles, bull catcher jeeps, horses, ropes, and knives to win Stilwater Station back from the wild.A deeply poetic inquiry into our desire to make order where we find wildness,Stilwater: Finding Mercy in the Outbacksuffuses us with salt and scrub and blood, blurring the line between domestic and feral in wondrous, unsettling ways. This is a whirlwind of men, women, cattle, horses, machines and landscape in collaborative evolution, all becoming different manifestations of the same entity--the Australian wild.

But as time went on, Joanne realised that Rod was both a complicated and deeply troubled man.
