Freedom to Be Equal

It was a fateful time in Australia’s history. Thousands of men, some with wives and families, swarmed to the goldfields of Ballarat, Victoria. People of different classes and ethnic backgrounds mingled, creating the beginnings of an egalitarian society. Beautiful auburn-haired Rebecca Webster and the dashing Doctor Joshua O’Reilly were destined for each other, but it would take some time before Joshua could forgive the Webster family and Rebecca could bear the thought of leaving her beloved country. The ill-fated Eureka Stockade is the exciting backdrop to this fascinating love story.
