The Oyster Farmer

Synopsis

Moving from Sydney to an isolated river community to work for impoverished eight generation oyster farmers may not be an obvious career move. If, however, you are a desperate young man with an enterprising streak and a big heart then the Hawkesbury River may well be your salvation. This is a love story about an inept thief who ends up a local hero.
