The Lambing Flat

"In a landscape as beautiful as it is brutal, in a culture both ancient and new, two very different young people struggle for understanding and survival. Set in the heady goldrush days of mid-nineteenth century Australia, this is a modern story of the search for belonging." "Ella, the daughter of a grazier, grows up on an isolated, drought-ridden Central Queensland property, seeking her place in the harsh environment. Lok and his father arrive from China in search of gold and are caught up in the infamous Lambing Flat riots, where Chinese diggers are attacked and driven from the fields in their thousands. When Ella and Lok's paths cross, they begin to discover what it is to belong."--BOOK JACKET.
