Captain Howard Effingham, prompted by a letter from his old regimental chaplain in New South Wales, takes his wife and children from England to the Australian bush. Settling in the early days of the colony, the family meets squatters, stock-riders, local gentry and plain-spoken yeomen, and learns the hard and hopeful ways of a new country.
A broad, generous colonial saga from the author of Robbery Under Arms. Download the free EPUB.
