The story

Three friends are droving cattle in Australia in 1939: the restless Bluey Donkin, easy-going Milo Trent and English writer Peter Linton, who is on a working holiday. Kate Carmody, a homesteader's daughter, is in love with Bluey, but she turned down his marriage proposal two years before because he is wild and restless and a womaniser, even though he admits he loves her too. When war breaks out, the three men enlist in the Australian army and are assigned to the 9th Division.
