Golden Miles is a historical novel set in the goldfields of Western Australia, while the Great War rages abroad.

The Golden Mile is the richest gold seam in the world, but prosperity resides in the hands of the few. Sally Gough takes boarders to supplement the living scratched together by her husband, Fitz-Morris. Her greatest concern is for her four sons: lazy, good-natured Lal, just back from Gallipoli; Den, who longs to be a cattle rancher; Tom, a trade unionist and socialist; and Dick, who risks danger in the mines, and in the trenches of the First World War.

Golden Miles reveals the adventures and disasters of their lives, and those in the gold-mining community around them. It richly evokes the time and place from which all our national myths arose, but with a modern sensibility and a deep sensitivity to the indigenous characters.

To read Golden Miles, the sequel to The Roaring Nineties, is to be transported to that eventful and formative time in Australian history, as seen through the eyes of one extraordinary woman.
