R. M. W. (Bob) Dixon was one of the first linguists to study the Aboriginal languages of northeast Queensland. This account of his research between 1963 and 1977 reveals the difficulties and excitement of linguistic fieldwork, but focuses especially on the people who patiently helped him to understand their dauntingly complex languages.
