AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Morag and Allan MacDonald don't want to leave Skye, the island they love, and emigrate to an unknown country on the other side of the world. But like many others, they have no choice. Their voyage to Australia, and the new world they find there makes an exciting and moving story that brings the past vividly to life. (Libraries Australia record).
