Jimmy Smith lives with his extended working class family in a tiny estuarine village on the NSW Central Coast. The year is 1969. Neil Armstrong has just landed on the moon and the Vietnam War is raging on television sets across the world.
But Jimmy, a 10 year old with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and trouble, is concerned with matters closer to home. He ponders such diverse subjects as God, his father's temper, pole houses, and city people.
'The Tin Moon' is a hilarious and touching story of childhood mischief and friendships and growing up which captures a way of life that has been lost forever.
