A Night for Possums
Cork, Dorothy
It was a night for possums when Rae learnt three weeks before her marriage that Ralph was only marrying her to get hold of her station of Tarmaroo. "Three weeks more, Peg," she overheard him say, "and we'll be shot of this rundown dump and sitting pretty over at Tarmaroo."

Which was why she ran away and found herself at Illalangi, only too conscious that she was rather playing possum herself-for a man who would hardly take kindly to any form of deception!

Hero: Mitch Gilcrist or Gilchrist
