In 1910 a young Cambridge-trained biologist, Elliot Lovegood Grant Watson, arrived in Perth to join the controversial anthropologist A.R. Radcliffe-Brown and Daisy Bates on an ethnological expedition into Aboriginal Australia, including the Lock Hospitals of Shark Bay.
The experience changed his life. On his return to England he decided to become a writer.
