Introduction:
The story takes place in Australia on the eve of World War II. The elegant British aristocrat, Sarah, travels a long distance to reach the wild land of Australia, at the other end of the earth, in order to protect the land she has inherited. Upon her arrival at this vast land, she discovers that not only must she overcome numerous challenges brought by an unfamiliar environment, but she also needs to cooperate with the local rugged and unrestrained ranchers to cross the northern Australian continent. During this arduous journey, they support each other all the way, crossing half of Australia, experiencing magnificent landscapes vastly different from what they are used to, and meeting many passionate residents and local aborigines. Meanwhile, they begin to feel the transformation of inner conflicts, with a mysterious sensation continuously rising in their hearts. Just when they reach their destination and plan to start an extraordinary new life, war breaks out suddenly. In 1942, the Japanese bombed Darwin Port in Australia, and Sarah's mansion was consumed by flames. How will they face one difficulty after another and the threat of war? Can this touching journey of love and homeland protection continue?
