Eddie is an old Aborigine man that Robyn meets one night while she is camping in the desert. Eddie and his friends agree that Robyn needs one of them to travel with her for a while, to protect her, chaperone her through sacred Aboriginal territory and teach her about the land. When Robyn meets Eddie, he is wearing one sneaker and one high-heeled woman's shoe, and she is delighted when she finds out that this silly old man will be her companion.
