Chapter Two - Eildon

They came to Australia with little more than hope and a willingness to begin again, what they found was opportunity, reputation, and a legacy neither of them expected.
As their farm prospers and their family steps into new worlds, military, political, and social, Norman Baines begins to sense a deeper pull: a history rising through him, waiting to be claimed.
Set against the shifting landscape of Eildon in the beautiful Goulburn Valley in Country Victoria Australia in the 1950s and ’60s, this is a story of migration, identity, quiet power, and the mysteries we inherit without knowing.
