In 1830 the Dunn family, two farm workers and a governess Allie emigrate to Western Australia, building 'Woburn House' beside the Margaret River. A daughter is born which is a disappointment causing a rift between the couple.

The story follows the success and failure of the family, their trials and up lifting times as they strive through three generations to make a life in their new environment. Native Aboriginals prove to be invaluable to their survival and relationships' are formed with other white settlers.

The land itself proves hostile in typical Australian style with bush fires, drought, cattle stealing and plagues of rabbits. There are difficulties but encouragement too, salvage from a wrecked ship, gold; marriage into a wealthy family, pearls discovered, and children born.

Agatha, the last of the line endures the sorrows of two World Wars and as a lonely 70 year old becomes a recluse, pondering all that has gone before and concerned for the future of the house and farm beside the beautiful Margaret River which she has so loved.

The author has illustrated the heading of each chapter with her own drawings of Australian wild flowers.
