"The Ghost Camp; or, the Avengers" by Rolf Boldrewood is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds within the rugged Australian wilderness and follows the journey of the protagonist, Valentine Blount, an Englishman traversing this wild land with aspirations of becoming a gold prospector. Along the way, he encounters a bushman named John Carter, also known as "Little River Jack," who offers assistance and companionship, setting the stage for an exploration of the challenges and dangers of frontier life. The opening of the novel introduces Blount as he navigates the desolate terrain, leading a weary horse and reflecting on the hardships of his journey. As he stops to rest, he spots a mysterious horseman, raising his suspicions about potential threats in the bush. In a stroke of luck, Blount is welcomed by Carter, who takes him to his humble hut for shelter. Through their conversation over a meal, Blount learns about the harsh realities of gold mining while the two bond over shared experiences. This sense of camaraderie amidst the wild landscape sets the tone for Blount's adventure-filled journey, filled with themes of survival, exploration, and the allure of gold.
