Mary and Donald Cameron, free settlers, arrive in Gippsland, Victoria, determined to carve a successful life for themselves. They build a cattle station, facing harsh realities like bushfires and encounters with escaped convicts.

Davey falls in love with Deirdre, but their romance faces challenges from the town's powerful hotel owner, Thad McNab, who seeks to claim Deirdre for himself. The story unfolds against the backdrop of early Australian settlement, exploring themes of family dynamics, social class, and the struggle for self-discovery in a challenging environment.Book Details
