Wills Lockley is the third son of a convict. Named after an explorer, he sought to discover what lay beyond the mountains and travel to witness the brolgas dance. His teacher at school told him about them, plus he found traces of gold. Wills has big dreams and won't be told no, so he runs away.
Cathy Turner has loved Wills since she was fourteen. When she hears he has left home for places unknown, she grieves. Will he return, and does he care for her? If he does, are they too young to marry?
Wills travelling companions are six Englishmen, seeking escape from mental trauma (PTSD) after fighting in a war in India. How does a single question from a teenage lad change the lives of them all?
