Six-year-old Denny Wallace has gone missing during a dust storm, and the entire community is caught up in the search for him. As they scour the desert and mountains for the lost child, the residents of Fairly - newlyweds, landowners, farmers, mothers, artists, Indigenous trackers, cameleers, children, schoolteachers, widows, maids, policemen - confront their relationships with each other and with the ancient landscape they inhabit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe colonial Australia of \u003ci\u003eThe Sun Walks Down\u003c\/i\u003e is unfamiliar, multicultural, and noisy with opinions, arguments, longings and terrors.
