Where the Waratahs Bloom

North of Lithgow, New South Wales, on the edge of the Great Divide lies Cheshunt, a vast property where the

rare and glorious waratahs grow. Home to the Richards family since 1905, Max is restoring Cheshunt to its former

glory.

     It is now the 1990s, and the family are keen and active competitors, showing their precious Morgan horses, when Stella, Max’s daughter, is suddenly stricken with an illness that does not respond to treatment. The long hours in the saddle, the days working with the stock and training for the hunter classes become a thing of the past for Stella and her mother, Kirsty.

     The journey begins to find a cure. But months turn into years...

     Then the family are told Stella will never walk again.

     While life at Cheshunt must go on, the Richards family face their troubles with the true courage and dignity of

the pioneers from which they descended.
