He finds employment on a back-country farm called Emerald Downs, and when the owner, Major Ferrington, is ordered to roust the Aborigines who have been terrorising the area, Jack is horrified to find he must go with him as a scout. The farm is left in the hands of Adrian Pinnock – the brother of Major Ferrington’s fiancée, Jessie – but when Jessie herself insists on accompanying him dealings on the once well-ordered estate take a very different course.
