It was not to be. At six years of age, he entered boarding school. The burden of undiagnosed dyslexia led to an aversion to schoolwork, and violent sexual abuse from a fellow boarder became the impetus for leaving school. He embarked on a life of hard manual labour, before returning to his parents' farm, but continual frustrations between him and his father culminated in a stint of involuntary commitment. On release in 1964, he left for Australia as a '10 Pound Pom'. For the next ten years, he roamed Australia — working in its cities, rural towns, and outback. But a rolling stone gathers no moss. Christopher, the adventurer, insidiously became a hard-working, hard-drinking and hard-playing drifter on a downward spiral. In 1973, on a remote aboriginal settlement in the Northern Territory, new things impacted him and became the impetus for him to think he may have a future — if he survived. True stories provide insight into the tortuous journey of a lonely, insecure child and young man in England, a unique view through the eyes of an immigrant drifter in Australia, and the rollercoaster ride of reintegrating himself into mainstream society.
