- Summary:
-
The tale of an eleven years old girl adapting to her new home. From an unimaginable offer and decisive choices, Kate's opportunistic Irish family and fellow travelling companions made fresh beginnings when they arrived in South Australia weeks early October 1840. Initially Kate's family chose to farm on six acres at Reed Beds but then yielding to unpredictable droughts and floods, they travelled further east, along the River Torrens, to Hindmarsh where Kate put down her roots. Kate's life journey includes soul searching tragedies and joyous events. Above all Kate's legacy of abundant love, kindness and care for others shines through.
