This tale of adventure started in Berlin and London, when two families made the decision to emigrate to the land under the Southern Cross in order to begin a new life following World War II.

Fast forward to 1966, when Mick and Angela met on the dusty Marrakai Plain in the top end of the Northern Territory, an adventure spanning 37 years began.

The story describes the spectacular natural beauty of the Australian outback, the triumphs, joys, heartaches and challenges they experienced whilst living in remote parts of the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales and in regional Western Australia.

Through cyclones, dust storms, flooding, extreme heat and isolation, their love for each other and resilience in the face of adversity makes for compelling reading.
