Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor edgewear.

An exhilarating and beautifully written story of one family's adventure on the land that takes them from farm to station, through drought and out the other side.

When Jo Jackson King's family decide that they have to move to a remote station in West Australia to survive financially, she is at first reluctant to leave her childhood farm. But she soon discovers that her new life offers many gifts, as well as challenges, as she and her family struggle to establish a peach orchard on their new land, and survive the drought that has swept the country.

An uplifting account of the joys and trials of daily life on a station told with great charm and verve. (back cover)
