When Pa buys a stake in a gold mine at Hill End, Alfie knows his life is about to change. A golden future is just within reach, and fortune favours the bold ... but in Hill End, fortunes are lost as fast as they are made.

It’s 1872 and Alfie Wilson’s pa has sold the farm. He’s moving the family to Hill End to make their fortune and secure their Golden Future. Pa has gold fever – and so has Alfie – and they are convinced that it won’t be long before they'll be the Wealthy Wilsons.

Not everything is golden in this mining town though. Alfie soon discovers that life in Hill End is hard and, at times, dangerous. But fortune favours the bold, and Alfie is determined he and his pa will overcome the many hardships and risks to strike it rich.

But are there things in life more precious than gold?

The third book in the Our History series, set in the famous gold rush town of Hill End. Written by acclaimed Australian author Sue Whiting.
