Sario lives with his family on a remote Torres
Strait island, which he never wants to leave
– but the winds of change are stirring. The

height. When his father is coerced to join a
white trader on his pearling lugger, thirteenyear-
old Sario must go to work as a swimming
diver to support the family.
