AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Christmas on an Australian station sees a murder in England confessed and estranged lovers reconciled to the strains of the Christmas carol, concertinas and station hands' singing. Old Rory confesses that he murdered the miserly uncle of Harold Rory in England three years before, thus clearing the man's name and reconciling Harold and his fiancee Hazel Vane - now a governess on the station. Light; cheerful station life contrasted to misery of the murder in England. Sense of nature, sunshine, open air etc. (PB)
