Set in the once-thriving gold mining town of Whitey's Fall, the story explores the tension between the departing youth seeking new opportunities and the older generation clinging to their roots and memories. The elders, proud guardians of the land's legacy, face the encroachment of outsiders with contrasting dreams and values, which they perceive as a threat to their way of life. This poignant narrative delves into themes of belonging, change, and the struggle to preserve history, earning recognition with the 1982 Miles Franklin Award.
