When Alec Fletcher and his family first arrive at Woco crossing in Queensland's sugar growing area, he is unimpressed. Even with the country still in the grip of the Depression, Alec still manages to find several part-time jobs and vows not to become a drifter like his father. Instead he has his heart set on becoming a pilot. (Libraries Australia record)
