AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Mixture of mystery, adventure, suspense, and intricate plot. Frank Brandon is the hero, "tall and slim of build, but as tough and wiry as most Australians bred on back-block plains". A heavy sense of mystery and foul play centres around a large nugget hidden somewhere in vast WA' (Oxford Companion to Australian Children's Literature 271).
