Ridgeview Station / Michael Trant.

But five years on, their hard work, help from Kelsie's parents, and record rainfall have them in high spirits as the summer muster approaches. Realising they're going to need more help this season, Peter rings around the neighbouring stations to try and find a good worker. After a glowing recommendation, Alexi arrives to give them a hand ? and is not at all what they'd expected... Everything is going smoothly with the muster before disaster strikes and the Daltons find themselves battling to save their livestock, their property and their lives. An entertaining yarn set on a vast outback property peopled with colourful and authentic characters, Ridgeview Station is about love, loss and the spirit of the bush.
