| Description | Victorian Oamaru - an epic tale of tragedy and triumph! On February 3rd 1868, the Great Storm threatens Oamaru's very existence. With a heavy loss of life the storm offers a turning point in the young town's life. The port, now in ruins, is the lifeline to new prosperity from trade with Mother England. Will the citizens of the devastated town pull together to rebuild it or will they decide brighter futures lie elsewhere? Will their plans for a truly grand 'white stone city' be realised? | ||||||||||
