Synopsis
Young Will lives with his dysfunctional family on a cattle station in North Queensland. His great-grandfather, John Clark, or Poppy John as the family calls him, is in his nineties, and the patriarch of a vast family empire. Feeling the great weight of his years and aware that the family is splintering, Poppy John decides that the only way forward is through Will. When he suffers an injury, Poppy John takes Will away to recuperate and reveals a secret box containing the things most precious in his life. As he shows Will the contents, he recounts the story associated with each piece.
When John Clark set about telling the story of his life, neither he nor Will could have ever imagined the journey they would both undertake. This is a heart-warming story of courage, life, love and loss set against a backdrop which stretches from Australia’s convict past, through the gold rush and boom years, up to the 1930’s depression.
