AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'It is a story set in the outback of N.S.W. on one of the many small stations which are dotted over the country.
'The life of the Clare family could be the life of many Australian farming families. In spite of the great dangers which they face, in the form of droughts, bushfires, and floods, they are content to remain on the land, putting back as much as they take out of it.
'Koombahla, the Clares’ home, is a happy and contented one until the eldest son brings home a young English wife. She is a city girl, and untrained for the hardships which await her in the country, and, although she is prepared to learn, she meets with severe opposition from her husband’s sister, a woman who has become very embittered about life.'
