Decades of hard work have made Austin Broderick a rich man. His
sheep station, Springfield, is one of the largest in Australia and
the good relations between the native Aborigines and the Brodericks
have made it one of the most peaceful. But with the arrival of the
pious Reverend Billings all that looks set to change. Under the
guise of friendship he enters the Aborigines' camp and leaves with
three six-year-old boys - eager for adventure but destined for
misery. Meanwhile, Austin is facing the threat of the Selection Act
- a bill which, if passed, will mean the loss of a large proportion
of his land. His only hope is his son Harry and his influence as a
Brisbane politician. But as the months go by it soon becomes clear
that the family's problems run far deeper than any of them had
imagined and the answers lie in the last place they would think to
look...
