AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Set on the Turon River diggings near Sofala NSW in 1859. A near-penniless doctor determines to try his luck on Wattle Flat but his enterprise is cut short when his mining partner's mistress is followed to their hut by her long-term lover, knife in hand ... Smoothly told without the excesses usually associated with such melodrama - though gory enough. (PB)
