Jeannie Gunn, newly married to the manager of Elsey Station, the Maluka of the book,, travels deep into the Northern Territory in 1902 as the only white woman for miles. She tells of the stockmen who came to accept her, among them the Quiet Stockman, the Dandy and the Sanguine Scot, and of the Aboriginal people of the station, droughts, floods and long rides.
