Die Kukatja-Aborigines leben mitten in der Großen Sandwüste Australiens in völligem Einklang mit der Natur. Sie verehren den Eisvogel, der ihre Vorfahren der Sage nach zu Wasserlöchern führte und ihrem Gebiet den Namen Wirrumanu „Flug des Eisvogels“ gab. Für die Kukatja ist die geheimnisvolle, endlose rote Erde, auf der sie leben, heilig und die Atmosphäre von einer spirituellen, magischen Kraft durchdrungen. Auch Monica Furlong, eine junge Journalistin, ist fasziniert von dem Zauber, der von der roten Erde ausgeht - und dem Leben der Kukatja. Sie lernt die Gefühle der Aborigines kennen, ihre Hoffnungen, Ängste und vor allem ihre Religion. Ergriffen von der unermeßlichen und unberührten Seele Australiens, begibt sich die Autorin auf eine innere Reise.
