Lisa is on her way to the remote Australian outback to find her grandfather – her only living relative, But before reaching Pardalote, the cattle station of which she is now part-owner, she first has to pass through Finch’s Creek. Here, at the lonely bush hospital on the edge of the outback, she helps the nurses to entertain the patients. And here she comes to know Jim Ransome. He owns the cattle station next door to Pardalote, but he and Lisa’s grandfather are sworn enemies.
