Description Somewhere between the mainland and its southern-most mate lies Big Dog Island. For six weeks of the year that's where you'll find the Duncans, a mob as funny as they are unforgettable. They come from all over to make the most of mutton-bird season, and have done for as long as anyone can remember. Long memories mean it's not just the birds that arrive for this year's harvest, though, as old secrets are dug up from their burrows, fledgling rivalries begin to take flight and outsiders stick their beaks where they're not welcome. It might all fall apart if it wasn't for the fierce love that holds this bunch together.
