The small town of Parramatta in New South Wales is a rough place in the early 1830s. Convicts and ruffians galore. However, opportunities abound for those who are willing to work for it. Some do, many won’t. The Lockley’s are a family who will! Charles becomes a trusted community member after he helps quell a mutiny on the way out aboard the convict ship. He’s given a 'Ticket of Leave' and becomes the Government Stores Keeper in Parramatta.
Charles grasps the opportunities this colony offers his growing family. His faith gives him strength, his wife Sal, support.
Charlie, his oldest son will take over his Inn.
However, it is Eddie, his second son, who becomes a Blacksmith and an unassuming hero. Eddie used this role to enhance the town.
Unlike in England, the class system is almost gone. There is Convict and Free. There is an opportunity for all if you work for it.
A Love story in more ways than one.”
