Ironbark

By: Johanna Nicholls

Narrated by: Dino Marnika

A stunning epic bringing the passions and heartaches of colonial Australia to vivid life.

Jake Andersen is a proud Currency lad with a swagger in his step and a joke for his mates - until he discovers the wife he is besotted with has left him and taken their young daughter with her. A prizefighter, Jake decides to take matters into his own hands and find his wife and the mongrel she ran off with. Fuelled by revenge, he starts a long search across the colony and vows to never trust 'good women' again.

Few people seem to think a gypsy girl like Keziah Stanley could ever be a 'good woman'. Separated by the law from her beloved gypsy husband, Keziah decides to travel to Australia to find the love of her life. With her tarot cards and strong beliefs, Keziah boasts she can read anybody's future, but her own life is proving harder to read, let alone manage.

Daniel Browne already knows what his future will be: the life of a great artist. And he is determined to follow his dream, no matter what.

When this volatile trio is thrown together in Australia, they form an extraordinary, unexpected alliance that will challenge the establishment. Love, hate, survival and revenge: all will discover the truth.
