Margaret escapes the city by marrying the taciturn but handsome manger of an outback cattle station in North West Queensland. She soon finds herself "queen" of a million-acre property. Her romantic excitement is soon dampened by the squalor and the ever-looming risk of disease, drought and fire. She finds it impossible to understand her husband's indifference towards the living conditions of the Aboriginals.
