Two young Englishmen, Harry Taylor, a minor felon and Patrick Galbraith, a navy marine lieutenant serving on the final convict transport ship, are bound for Australia in October 1867. Harry and Patrick become friends, and both end up at Trial Bay Prison on the north coast of New South Wales. In return for good behaviour, an early release allows them to explore the hinterland. Opportunity knocks when the pair have a violent run-in with bushrangers and land a windfall beyond their wildest dreams. But their newfound wealth also haunts them throughout adventurous lives filled with indigenous warriors, cattle thieves, murderers, and colourful figures of the colony’s racing and farming industries. Harry and Patrick find love in the arms of beautiful women, but their good fortune comes under threat when a ghost from their past emerges.
