    Just like California, Australia had its own gold rush in the 1860s.  Would-be prospectors flocked to the gold fields, and businesses grew up around the mining camps.  Among the new businesses were stage coach lines, with many smaller firms competing against the biggest name in the industry, Cobb & Co.  This series features life at one of the stage coach stations, Five Mile Creek, located at 40 miles north of Sydney.

Production Note:

  • This series was based on a novel by Louis L'Amour.  It followed the format first set in the anthology episode The Cherokee Trail.
