Description

Lillipilly Hill is the story of Harriet Wilmot and her family, who have come to live in an inherited house in the New South Wales town of Barley Creek at the end of the 19th century.

Harriet is in awe of Australia, despite the heat and unconventional schooling, and much prefers it to dreary old London. Not all of the Wilmots agree, however, and Harriet breaks rules and expectations in her efforts to convince her family to stay in this new and exciting land.
