On a burning February evening in 1857, with bushfires on the ranges, Geoffry Hamlyn sits on a veranda in Australia with Major Buckley and Captain Brentwood and begins to tell how they came there. The story moves from a Devon village to the sheep runs of the colony, following families, friendships and the villain George Hawker across a generation.
