Publisher's Synopsis
The Secret of the Sandhills By Arthur Gask John Stratton stood, shabby and down-at-heel, outside the General Post Office in Adelaide, his collar frayed away at the edges and the burst in one of his boots marking him down clearly as a man who was not by any means in affluent circumstances. Less than two months earlier he had got into the train with a comfortable thick wad of notes in his pocket, the result of over a year's hard work 'out back' as a boundary rider. But a too-confiding trust in his fellow passengers, and a too-deep slumber as the ever-stopping train had ambled on, had been his undoing. He awoke at Peterborough in the dim hours of the morning to an empty carriage, and, worse still, to an empty, rifled pocket. His luck was about to change again, however. It was that same morning at the Post Office that he spotted the girl, a picture of luxury and prettiness, And it was also on that morning when he sat down to write a post card which would alter the whole course of his life.
