The story of the White family who helped the "Waybeck" pastoral district to become one of the most prosperous areas of Australia, despite the hardships of flood, drought, goldstrikes and bushrangers.

Notes

  • Dedication: To Una Gault who first 'introduced' me to Sarah of Burrangong.
  • Epigraph: 'Over the river by gravel and gum, / To a thunder of hoofbeats, hard-driven they come, / A host of young horses, and riders who sway / Like a reed to the wind, and are round and away.'
