A new release of an Australian classic, this 1995 CBCA award-winning graphic picture book by Gary Crew and Steven Woolman is an atmospheric and thought-provoking exploration of rural life and the impact of technology.

Nobody in Preston could remember when the watertower was built, or who had built it, but there it stood . . . casting a long, dark shadow across the valley, across Preston itself.
