-
In the goldfields in 1892, water is scarce, disease is common and many men will never find the fortune they've come to seek. When she moves to the new outback town of Coolgardie to live with the flies, red dust and rowdy prospectors, fourteen-year-old Clara Saunders is in search of adventure. A friendship with Jack, the cheeky young water carter, is a promising start, but life in the goldfields is harsh and is set to test the limits of Clara's fierce determination.
