AbstractHistoryArchive Description
It is the 1840's in the Port Phillip district of the Colony of New South Wales. Free settlers, soldiers and pardoned convicts begin a new life along the Yarra River. This is a stunning tale of intrigue and war, of friend-ship and hope, when Europens forging a new life in a strange, harsh land discovered others with stronger bonds to the land than they can imagine. Ngayuk is a proud Aboriginal at home in his world of valleys and hilltops. But then comes death and destruction of his hunting grounds. (Libraries Australia)
