Striking Gold

It's 1852, and the Australian Gold Rush has begun.

Hilda Montague loves Australia, the country she's lived in since birth.

Henry Brookshaw despises it, the country he's been sent to by his widower father to spend the summer with his aunt and uncle.

After an encounter one day, Hilda and Henry immediately despise one another. Yet, their families are set on forming a friendship and discussing a potential engagement, much to Hilda's and Henry's dismay.

So what happens when you put two hotheads, a bushfire and an area rich with gold?
