Bogumiła Żongołłowicz gives an account of Polish Australian author Andrzej Gawroński's life. It ranges from his involvement in the Polish resistance to Nazi occupation in World War II, his subsequent arrest by the secret police in Communist Poland after the war, escape from Poland via the Baltic sea, and arrival in Australia in 1951, to his experiences and writings in Australia, including his period as a steelworker and factory worker and later official of the Victorian Road Traffic Authority, his involvement in the Polish Australian cabaret group 'Wesoła Kookaburra', his satirical columns for Polish Australian newspapers such as the Kurier Zachodni, and his years teaching Polish language and culture in Victorian schools and Polish literature at Monash University (1981-1982).
