Farjeon is a story set in Silver Creek, Australia, during the gold rush days, where people hunger for wealth, love keeps them grounded, and adventure waits around every corner.

There are the Tipperary boys, the miners, people hoping for fortune, and Mr. Hart, who is part of an acting group looking for treasure and his daughter. The story gives exciting details about Silver Creek, which has rapidly transformed from the wild to a busy town full of miners and shops. As the plot develops, Mr. Hart navigates life's difficulties in the growing town. His longing for his daughter is a strong impulse for all his actions.
