AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Two new chums arrive in Dunedin, NZ in December 1862 and soon make their way to the Molyneux River where they commence cradling for gold. The harsh treatment endured by the local store-keeper's wife attracts their attention, until one night she is pushed off a cliff-top into the river. Well-told with solid landscape descriptions. (PB)
