Description: In 1932, as Australia struggled through the Great Depression, a nine-year-old boy from the small Victorian town of Leongatha set out on horseback for Sydney to witness the opening of the Harbour Bridge. Accompanied only by his beloved pony Ginger Mick, Lennie Gwyther covered more than a thousand kilometres of dusty roads, river crossings, and unfamiliar country, capturing the imagination of a nation hungry for hope. This is the remarkable true story of an extraordinary journey, the bond between a boy and his horse, and the enduring legend they created together.
