About this listen
In a story as sweeping as the land itself, bestselling author Judy Nunn brings Kal magically to life.
DESERT GOLD RUSH
Kalgoorlie. It grew out of the red dust of the desert over the world's richest vein of gold. People were drawn there from all over the world, to start afresh or to seek their fortunes.
DREAMS AND STRUGGLES
People like Giovanni Gianni, fleeing his part in a family tragedy. Or Maudie Gaskill, one of the first women to arrive at the goldfields, and now owner of the most popular pub in town. Or Caterina Panuzzi, banished to the other side of the world to protect her family's honour.
The burgeoning town could reward you or it could destroy you, but it would never let you go.
FORGING A NATION
From the heady early days of the gold rush to the horrors of the First World War, to the shame and confrontation of the post-war riots, Kal tells the story of Australia itself and the people who forged a nation out of a harsh and unforgiving land.

Interesting story
I enjoyed this novel. Another interesting Australian story by Judy Nunn. The exaggerated Australian voices did become irritating towards the end. Just a bit too overdone!
However apart from that, the theme and characters were well portrayed. Looking forward to my next Judy Nunn story but with more accurate Australian voices.

Well done
Well done Judy. Bit graphic in the war. But it brings home the sacrifice the men made going to war. Makes this COVID pandemic look like a walk in the park.

Great characters
An easy read about one of Australia’s favourite mining communities, the good the bad and the ugly.
