Summary "The Dingo Boys: The Squatters of Wallaby Range" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a family of English emigrants who arrive in Australia, embarking on a journey to settle and establish themselves in a new land, accompanied by their children and an old gardener. The narrative captures their early adventures and encounters, highlighting the challenges they face as they adjust to their new surroundings, including their interactions with the local Aboriginal people. At the start of the novel, the Bedford family arrives in Port Haven, Australia, filled with hopes of starting a new life. The family consists of Captain Bedford, his wife, their two daughters, and three young boys who are cousins. In this opening portion, the boys are introduced to a peculiar Australian native named Shanter, who initially raises suspicion among the adults but soon proves to be a valuable ally. As they prepare to journey inland, the narrative sets a tone of adventure and discovery, depicting the characters' mix of excitement and trepidation regarding their new life in an unfamiliar land. The opening chapters establish the family's goals, dynamics, and the challenges they will confront in the untamed Australian wilderness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
