β¦ Synopsis
Thanks much to Compmast who did a FABULOUS job of converting this book from my scans!!Β
You did it, you got to the very last book!!Β
A new century dawns, and the hopes drive the children of convicts and colonialists who proudly call themselves "Aussies."Β Some, like young idealist Tolo Mason, will journey into the outback - the far never-never, the back of beyond - looking for treasures of gold and glory, finding danger in a desert land where only the mysterious aborigines survive. Others, like the famous Broome family, will turn to the intrigue of politics, raising new cities and grabbing the raw power to sail north to primitive New Guinea, where they can reign as the conquerors, the takers...
Please note: the author passed away several years after this book was completed but before it was published. She wrote right to the end of her days. I'm sure she intended another book in the process, but it does finish off the stories started earlier in the series.
