The narrator of this true story is Nancy Polishuk, a young Australian woman who left a sheltered city existence to join her adventurous American husband in trying to build a home and raise a family in the tropical wilds of northern Australia.

In 1926, Nancy, her husband John, and their two-year-old daughter set off with a few possessions and a deed to a square mile of land on the Daly River in the Northern Territory.
