Description

An Australian pioneering story  set in the lush, newly settled Western District of the colony of Victoria. The year is 1844: The Webster family- John Webster, carpenter; Belinda, his prim, lady-like sister, and his motherless children, Henrietta, Andrew, William and baby Edward- arrive by bullock cart at the wattle and daub hut in the Vale of the Wannon, which is their first home in Australia.
