Twenty years on, the narrator remembers the day the family came out from Stanthorpe on a borrowed dray to the slab hut Dad had built on their selection. What follows are sketches of their struggle on the Darling Downs: the first harvest, the wait for the deeds, the wolf at the door, stampeding cattle, Dave and Joe and a father who never gives up.
