Based on a true story of family, courage and resilience. Six children travelled to the Daintree with their parents in 1927 - 1936. They were all under 12 when they first arrived in one of the most inhospitable but beautiful environments on earth. By a trick of destiny they were joined by 15 year old redhead Ginger (George Whittaker). Ginger was an orphan from England who had sailed to Australia alone, in search of his fortune and a real family to call his own.
