Clouds Will Break is the true story of my maternal great grandparents’ immigration to Australia. From writings, photos and personal memorabilia bequeathed to me by my grandmother, and from the amazing resource that is the internet, I have put together a story with factual events, and real people, most of whom go by their real names, though I have necessarily imagined their personalities and interactions.
Set in the second half of the 19th century, the story follows William Cameron and Jeannie Robertson from the Scottish Borders to ‘Marvellous Melbourne’, and on to Mildura, the newly established irrigation settlement on the Murray River, in north-west Victoria.
