In northern Australia at the beginning of World War II, an English aristocrat inherits a cattle station the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn stock-man to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.

Kaylenes dream of having a privacy screen at the front door finally came true yesterday afternoon. After a 1000 hardwood splinters and having to cut off 7mm on each bit of wood it was ready for staining.
Also finished this weekend was the re-screening of the sunroom. 2hrs of fun that was :)
