AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'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)
