'Kit Hunter, young star of the show jumping world, reaches Singapore on her way home from her adventurous Australian tour. At a race meeting she meets another big cattle man from Australia who wants to buy horses from the Moor Grange Stables.
'It seems foolish to refuse the chance - since the object of Kit's original trip was to arouse Australian interest in Moor Grange stock - yet the Colonel is urgently needed at home in Devon.
'Kit and Mary decide to return to Australia by themselves, and advise the cattle man on his needs - only to find themselves plunged into another adventure, far removed from their original plans - the strange mystery of the mine whose secret was guarded by a ghost!'

'Kit Hunter, now widely known as a champion horsewoman, goes to Australia, with Colonel Hamden, and her friend Mary Trent, for the famouse Sydney Show. The Show is a thrilling annual event - a blend of superb rodeo, and state fair. After a wonderful sea voyage through the East they arrive in Australia a few days ahead of the show's opening date. Kit and her companions accept an invitation from a wealthy travelling companion to visit a huge, and fabulously wealthy sheep station in the "outback". The station is enormous, with its own cinema, bathing pool, and private plane service. After a thrilling holiday a great bushfire breaks out. With the plane out of action a desperate battle has to be fought against the huge fire, and Kit races the flames on a borrowed horse to reach the nearest town - to bring warning and get help. In the nick of time, the trio get back to Sydney for fresh showjumping triumphs at the show.' (From Dusk Jacket)
