Brandon has just graduated from university as a primary school teacher. As he travels to his first teaching post, he wonders what he’s got himself into. From the airplane, the tiny town of Gunnanilla looks no bigger than a cattle station. And when he lands, he steps into heat such as he has never encountered before. Sweating and feeling faint from the extreme temperature, he meets his new boss Mark Petersen, the racist principal of the only school for miles around. Then he meets the school’s other teacher, Mark’s wife Trina, and the students, most of whom are Australian Aborigines. Life in the small town is no picnic. In the summer, the heat is unrelenting. In the wet season, the town is cut off from the outside world and all deliveries are brought to a halt. There is only one television channel. To top it all off, there are any number of poisonous creatures around, such as snakes, scorpions, and spiders. How’s a poor city boy like Brandon, who’s interested in fashion, music, and clubbing and none too confident with his sexuality, going to cope? Enter the handsome, rough-around-the-edges miner, Frank. When Mark warns Brandon that Frank is gay, it seems this town might finally have something to keep him entertained. But how can he meet Frank without drawing attention to his own sexuality? How can anything possibly happen between them in such rough, tough, and macho surroundings?

“Sure,” he replied. “Just give me a minute.”


Frank spat into his hand and used the saliva to coat Brandon’s cock.


“You don’t pre-cum much, do you?” he said.


“I don’t pre-cum at all,” Brandon replied.


“Really?” said Frank. “I thought all men did.”


Frank slid into the seat beside Brandon and turned on his side, pressing Brandon against the door. With a small degree of discomfort, Brandon was able to find the door handle and open it, giving himself room to manoeuvre. He reached down and pressed his cock against Frank’s arsehole. It slipped in with little difficulty and once he was all the way inside, he wrapped his arms around Frank’s torso as best he could and began thrusting.
