It has been six years since Kate and Rusty found forty diamonds buried in a can behind a cabin. After deciding to sell the jewels, they soon realize that their task may be more challenging than they imagined. Kate is used to living in the bush with sheep and cattle. Rusty is an opal miner who has always wanted more out of his life. After their journey leads them to the bank where the diamonds have been stored for safekeeping, she and Rusty split the jewels and then begin the arduous process of attempting to sell their stash. As they instigate a creative plan, neither has any idea that trouble is lurking in the shadows. Now only one question remains: How many more will have to die in the Never Never before the diamonds are finally sold? In this continuing tale, two adventurers who decide to sell a stash of diamonds embark on a life-changing quest that leads them down a dangerous path where nothing is certain.

Lightning Ridge, Australia, the world’s opal capital, has miners from over fifty countries, who brought with them their political and religious beliefs, traditions, and memories. Gradually they created a unique society with a new culture, character, morals, and ideals. You never know who is who in Lightning Ridge, says Bill, an old opal miner. Aborigines and Europeans, doctors and illiterates, policemen and criminals, all camp next to each other, looking for the same rainbow in the clay beneath the sandstone. Prospectors come to Lightning Ridge in search of the elusive rainbow gem that will make them instantly rich and respected. The hope to find a red-on-black opal is the dream these opal miners live on. Ratting is the worst crime possible in an opal mining community. Ratters are miners who masquerade as prospectors, but they wait until a miner hits opal and then loot his mine. These stories are also about the women who loved and followed their adventurous men searching for their rainbow in the heart of Australian wilderness. ? The seven stories in this book are based on real people and events. Each story can be read separately or as one book. Set in Lightning Ridge and in Canberra, the tales span from 1938 to present day.
