Description In the Mallee country in rural Victoria, the Hamilton and Delaney families gather to celebrate twin sisters Dibs and Girlie's eightieth birthday. But these have been heartbreak years in the bush and the cracks are beginning to show - between parents and their children and between siblings, between those who have been loyal to the land and those who have left it, between farmers and townies, between country folk and their city cousins. And in the background is always the question: Who gets the farm?
