If Blood Should Stain the Wattle

It's 1972, and across Australia the catchcry is 'It's time'. In Gibber's Creek, it's time for Jed Kelly to choose between past love, Nicholas, the local Labour member, and Sam from the Halfway to Eternity commune. And for Scarlett O'Hara, it's time to dream that one day she will become a doctor - despite being in a wheelchair. It's also time for matriarch Matilda Thompson to reflect on the life that took her from the slums of Grinder's Alley to the events that began a nation at a billabong in 1894.
