Fran MacMillan has travelled south to escape the heat of the Queensland summer. Enjoying the solitude in Namadgi National Park in the high country, she is a little annoyed when a fellow camper pitches his tent close to hers. Yet fate has clearly arranged this meeting, for it is through talking to Kelvin that Fran is invited to participate in a working party restoring one of the historic huts in the region. And this weekend is just the start of some life changing experiences for Fran.
Almost a century before the pioneering Thompson family had lived in that same hut enduring the frigid winters of the snow belt but ultimately prospering on the land. Entwined within their story is that of Yenohan, a young Aboriginal girl who befriended their daughter Eleanor and ultimately became a surrogate member of the Thompson family.
