In 1852, a two-year-old boy reaches the new colony of South Australia with his Scottish family seeking better opportunities.

Through grit, intelligence and drive, George Brookman the man, makes three fortunes - in groceries, silver and gold. He becomes a prominent businessman, politician, cultural connoisseur, philanthropist and a major figure in mining circles, including Broken Hill and the Kalgoorlie Golden Mile.

This is a tale of migrant triumph, of a conservative ambitious man, operating within South Australia's Scottish diaspora. It documents his contribution to the early colony and gives a glimpse of his diverse and interesting family.
