More DescriptionThe Beaumont's family owns a smaller property adjoining the vast outback sheep station Mulwarie now run by Peter Munro famous not only because of the family name but also because he is a Rugby football legend. Crippling debt and successive droughts have given the Munros no option other than to sell Mulwarie. Bill Beaumont, a mining engineer and pilot, has returned home after some years away hoping to renew his friendship with Julia, Peter's daughter. Julia Munro has long been attracted to Bill but events make it too difficult for them to have a relationship. They have differing views on environmental issues which widen further when a coal-seam gas company threatens to set up in the district. Far worse is to come when a major tragedy devastates both families.
