On Worlds End Highway is the true story of two immigrants who live at the Butter Factory in South Australia 140 years apart. Emilie arrives as an infant from Prussia in 1860 and becomes a matriarch of a family that runs a successful enterprise for 75 years. A contemporary immigrant from America, the author renovates for the future and discovers a rich and dramatic history. Colonial Australia reveals itself yesterday and today: mining booms and drought, paddleboats and ports amidst plagues, fire and searing heat. Filled with vivid descriptions, the book takes you on an interwoven journey through time, culture and landscape distinctively different from the author's native suburbia. Two parallel lives anchored at an extraordinary place.
