Description

Hans-Albert Ritter is looking forward to his duties as Pastor for a settlement of German emigrants in the Queensland coastal port of Bundaberg. But by the time Ritter arrives, the community is in jeopardy - the land that was bought to be turned into a co-operative farm is nothing but impenetrable jungle. Ritter throws himself into his role, beginning with the essential foundation of a church, staunchly supported by the Meissner family. But it s not long before an Aboriginal Elder sees trouble brewing. Personal relationships within the group deteriorate as the Pastor s strict regulations divide the community. Can this be the end of their dreams so soon
