According to Leslie Rees, the play was one of the most highly regarded Australian radio plays of the 1940s.[4]
The Brisbane Sunday Mail said it was "a long time warming up."[5]
According to another listener the play "was quite good, although a little involved and choked with a mass of superfluous and redundant detail; but a period set aside for repertory plays should not be used for other features."[6]
Premise
editTwo drovers on the Birdsville Track discuss three possible theories behind the disappearance of Ludwig Leichhardt.[7]
