| Description |
"Bet and Michael are newly married and their hearts are set on the Australian Dream - to own their own home. Like generations before them they have crossed the Nullarbor to seek their fortune, joining a rush spurred on by rising gold prices and the declining dollar. 'The Hope' is a corrugated-iron mining town where few fortunes are made and few marriages survive. Bet and Michael are innocents among The Hope's hardy inhabitants: Mrs G - fourth generation goldfields; Charlie - the topless barmaid; Boss - the enigmatic boss man, and the eerie presence of generations of previous occupants. |
