In the tradition of THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER comes a gripping and courageous sequel to A WALTZ FOR MATILDA.

The year is 1919. Thirty years have passed since the man from Snowy River made his famous ride. World War I still casts its shadow across a valley in the heart of Australia, particularly for orphaned 17-year-old Flinty McAlpine, who lost a brother when the Snowy River men marched away to war. Why has the man Flinty loves returned from the war so changed and distant? Why has her brother Andy ‘gone with cattle’, leaving Flinty in charge of their younger brother and sister and with the threat of eviction from the farm that is the heart of her life? A brumby muster held under the watchful eye of the legendary Clancy of The Overflow offers hope. Now a girl must ride to save her farm, her family and the valley she loves. A love song to the Snowy Mountains and a tribute to the immortal words of Australia’s greatest bush poets, The Girl from Snowy River continues the grand saga of our land that began with A Waltz for Matilda.
