Beschreibung:
Frank Main owns a sheep station of about 800,000 acres in western New South Wales. He visits England and marries Ethel, travelling the world for three years before returning to the station in the first year of a drought. Two more years of drought takes its toll, on the marriage, the property; and Frank faces ruin...
A powerful story of Australia's great sheep farms. Gripped By Drought is a powerful story of a man's battle not only with the elements of nature which threatened the ruin of his huge Australian sheep-farm, but also with a loveless and unhappy marriage. For Frank Mayne, master of well-nigh a million-acre sheep station, life assumed its most dreary aspect. No rain for his farm, a wife who involved him in an orgy of spending and entertainment, and with disaster just round the corner, there seemed little prospect of happiness. Yet in the darkest hour of all, after the many unexpected and sometimes thrilling situations, the darkest hour of the drought gave way to rain and Mayne's tribulations became of the past.
