Jack Winter's Dream

Synopsis:
Jack Winter, the old swagman, lies down for his last sleep in the ruins of The Droverīs Rest and dreams of the colourful characters of gold-digging days who one stormy night filled the shanty pub with song and argument, laughter and deceit. Baxter uses the shaping power of his imagination to give a moment in the history of Otago the weight of myth and the resonance of poetry.
