“Duncan, a young Scott came to Australia in the hope of adventure and a good life. This is the story of him and his descendants who restored and built a good property. Surviving drought, flooding rains and rivers, as well as life’s disappointments, but who also enjoyed glorious landscapes, wildlife, and the good seasons. This was a family who cared deeply for and allied with the Aborigines, as well as the sometimes harsh environment. This is a unique story of historical heritage in Queensland’s semi-arid western region, of the Channel Country, from 1860 to 1998, including old photographs.” (publisher’s blurb)
