Based on the diaries of district pioneers that forged open the Gippsland country, They Came to a Rainforest is a novel with Australian heart. In the 1870s, bush pioneers Miles and Maggie Ford established their freehold Rock Allen in the lush Gippsland rainforest, with a wilful determination to both work with the land and make it work for them. As their children bloomed into adulthood and Miles and Maggie themselves grew older, these archetypal Aussie battlers witnessed and experienced all there was to both love and loathe about the wonderful and terrible environment that they had chosen to reside in.Written in 1965, They Came to a Rainforest was first printed in serial form in the then Gippsland Standard between April 5 1967 and September 11 1968 and loved by all who read it. Brought to life 40 years later by Doris family, this is an epic tale of Australian bravery and strength.
