The last of the Nomads is the story of Warri and Yatungka, the last of the Mandildjara people to remain in their 'country', the Western Gibson Desert region of Western Australia.

Focusing on the plight of Warri and Yatungka, the last Mandildjara people in the Western Gibson Desert, the narrative explores their struggle for survival amid severe drought. The story unfolds as Dr. Peasley, guided by local elders and an old friend, embarks on a quest to find the elderly couple. This journey not only highlights their nomadic lifestyle but also delves into the rich history of Aboriginal habitation and identity, alongside insights into Aboriginal-European relations, making it a poignant and educational read.
