AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Set on a former diggings site in 1879, the return of a farmer's digging mate of 1859 coincides with the return of the murderer of another digger working there that year in the guise of a swagman. A patiently vengeful brother and grave-carer; a ghost of the dead man; a simple-minded girl whose obsession with the murder leads to her death and her parents' grief; golden treasure buried in the grave-yard and a death-bed confession.
