New Book Journeys Into the Australian Outback in the 1950's Inspired by true events from James Palmer’s life, “Don’t Talk to the Dunnyman” (published by Balboa Press AU) explores life in 1950s Queensland, Australia.

John Tiley spent his life moving around Australia due to his father’s job. The newest leg of the Tiley family journey takes them to Queensland. While unloading the car John hears a voice and makes an unexpected friend, Ceddy is a 10-year-old Aboriginal boy. Although their skin tones don’t match, John and Ceddy become friends.
