The remains of a rifle buried in the sand and dust of an outback cattle station in North-west Queensland became the centre of an ongoing story of four brothers running the remote property. Who once owned the weapon? What was it doing hidden in the earth? Was it used in a violent encounter? The discovery of a rifle actually happened in real life.

The brothers battle to attract partners, women who were brave enough to live in a very remote area and share a very different life to what they had been used to. The station had a history of being a gold-bearing area, targeted in the early days up to the present by gold prospectors. Perhaps gold was the cause of the mystery of the buried weapon.
