Death-Defying Destiny Deciders – Part Nine: Rumtough to the Rescue!

After tragedy strikes, Emma Murtough begins the colourful third act of her life – as "Mrs Rumtough", fearless travelling housekeeper of the Western Australian wheatbelt and goldfields! Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, on even more remote Lord Howe Island, as chance and choice would have it, Norah Murtough meets the man who’ll be my grandfather.
