Best mates Tom and Gidgee toil and laugh together for decades in the shearing sheds and stockyards of the challenging, semi-arid Western Division of New South Wales. Constantly tested by extremes of nature, their huge capacity for both work and laughter helps them cope with everything that's thrown at them. 'My Mate Gidgee' is an authentic, entertaining, sometimes shocking, often funny, yarn from outback Australia, told by the author of the popular Battler series. The humour features the coarse yarns and jokes of the stockyards and shearing sheds, in an era when that was a man's world, and the chauvinistic attitudes were balanced by chivalry.
