In the open Gulf country of northwestern Queensland, there’s a cattle station – Barra Creek – on the tributary of the crocodile-infested Norman River. It’s 1963 and Sally Mitchell, the well-bred daughter of an wealthy New Zealand sheep farmer, is on her behalf way to England with her friend Pru. Once the young women stopover in Sydney their plans go awry. Sally impulsively takes a job as a governess at Barra Creek, so when the mail plane that flew her there takes off she finds herself left in a different world. One dominated by the overpowering John Monroe and his strict and proper wife Lorna. Here Sally’s life changes forever. The challenges of dealing with her three young charges, wild stockmen, the heat and the Wet, brumby musters and cattle rushes all pale beside a great passion, a great loss and a gruesome death.
