Cindy's Awakening

Cindy Marshal had been away from home to 'Boarding School, ' in Sydney for four long years. Now, she was returning home at last. She loved the bush; her family had a 'Soldier Settlement Block' granted to them after 'World War One.' Just a two-hour Sulky-Ride from the town of Bathurst in New South Wales, it was beautiful. It all began on the trip home from Sydney on that Big, Green, '38' Locomotive as it flew along the tracks, she peered out the window, her head against the cold glass, a tear in eyes, I'll be home soon. "This is Cindy's story."
