The Far CountryJennifer is living a dour life in 1950s England under the austere socialist government. But when her aunt dies and leaves her a legacy specifically to travel to Australia she takes her chance and goes to visit the aunt's rellies who, with wool prices high, have more money than they know what to do with and a great lifestyle. In Oz she also meets a lovely young foreign doctor and helps him carry out a couple of emergency operations. He has dreams of his own, too, and together they explore an old deserted town and plan a new life together.
