Olivia Campbell is the well-known and respected owner of Bottle Tree Creek – one of the largest cattle stations in the Northern Territory. She has run the property with the aid of Nora and Hector, an Aboriginal couple, since the death of her husband Paul twenty-odd years earlier.
But there are mysteries regarding Olivia’s life. Why did she, forty-five years earlier, cut her ties with her London home and relocate to the Australian outback as Paul’s wife? What awful secret was her husband hiding at the time, and was his accidental death all it appeared to be?

But when Frankie, the 16-year-old granddaughter she’s never met turns up unexpectedly on her doorstep one December afternoon, demanding answers, issues that were long-buried are now thrust into the present.
From a cold bleak London winter in 1964, to the Australian outback and the hardships of a harsh and foreign land, Bottle Tree Creek is a story of endurance, faith and hope…
