Adventure is the order of the day! White magic, black magic, Aboriginal myths, the harsh reality of colonization and the excitement of the gold rush paint the backdrop to this marvellously extravagant story about a family haunted from generation to generation by the evil heritage of a great-great-grandmother who was a witch.
