Jack arrives on Mable Downs in Queensland nursing a broken heart. With him is his mate Alby also healing from the same thing. Both, not long home from the war they embark on a journey that will take them closer, ever closer to this healing. A journey towards peace and contentment. An adventure like nothing they could have imagined. Along the way they begin to open their hearts to new people and possibilities, to love and laughter and joy. Wayne the station manager knows exactly how they feel as he is a digger from WW1. As Jack embarks on this new life he falls in love with the Australian outback, the top end. It is beautiful, wild, and free, and he recognises its healing powers almost immediately. Best of all is Jack's new and improved relationship with his hero Dan. Dan of the Murrumbidgee.
