Description
Shane, Moira and Midge, along with young Zara and Rory, are 'trants'—itinerants roaming the plains north-west of Melbourne in search of disused houses to sleep in, or to strip of heritage fittings when funds are low.
When they find their Tree Palace outside Barleyville, things are looking up. A place to settle down at last?
But Zara, 15, is pregnant and doesn't want a child. She'd rather a normal life with town boys, not trant life with a baby. Moira decides to step in: she'll look after her grandchild.
Then Shane finds himself in trouble with the local police...
