For the newsboys of Melbourne, dodging in and out of traffic and delivering newspapers is all part of the job. The promise of real adventure lies in a stolen trip down the Yarra River on a beautiful sunny day. Produced with the assistance of the Creative Development Branch of the Australian Film Commission.
