Official synopsis Publisher
Our story begins in 1770 in New Holland- later renamed Australia. The first settlers arrived there as a result of an unsuccessful mutiny. In those days mutinies were punished very severely, either by death or deportation. The sailors received the latter punishment. Their settlement started out with incredible difficulties, but during the following 25 years they managed to build a neat little town. As they explore the new continent they found gold, which had no value in the wilderness. Upon reconnecting with the outside world after 25 years, this very wealth of gold would be the reason for the complete destruction of the settlement. A teenage girl and a boy were to be the only survivors. A long series of adventures awaited them until they managed to escape their captors thousands of miles from their homeland. During their adventurous journey, with slave hunters, cannibalistic Papuans, and bloodthirsty convicts on their heels, they had to prove, time and time again, that they had the ability to survive and find a home for themselves one day.
