Call of the High Country is an inspiring and heartwarming saga of a family battling through hard times, of a love that defies all odds, and of dreams that won't be broken.

In the heart of Australia's rugged high country, three generations of the MacLeod family battle to make a living on the land. As a young married couple, Andrew and Anne work together to make the very best of their property, High Peaks, but at what cost to their happiness?

In time the property will pass to their son, David. Handsome and hardworking, he is determined to become the best sheepdog handler in the land. Nothing is going to stand in his way - not even the beautiful Catriona Campbell, daughter of the wealthy graziers next door.

Call of the High Country is an inspiring and heartwarming saga of a family battling through hard times, of a love that defies all odds, and of dreams that won't be broken.

Tony Parsons

A. D. (Tony) Parsons, OAM, has worked as a professional sheep and wool classer, an agricultural journalist, a news editor and rural commentator on radio, a consultant to major agricultural companies, and an award-winning stud breeder of animals and poultry.

He owned his first Kelpie dog in 1944, and in 1950 he established 'Karrawarra', one of the top Kelpie studs in Australia. In 1992 he was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for his contribution to the propagation of the Australian Kelpie Sheepdog.

Since 1947 he has written hundreds of articles, many for international publications. His previous books include The Australian Kelpie, The Working Kelpie and Training the Working Kelpie, now regarded as classic works on the breed.
