It's 1849 . . . and Nellie O'Neill has arrived in South Australia on a ship bringing orphan girls from Irish workhouses.

Can Nellie make her wishes come true? Join Nellie across all four stories about an Irish girl with a big heart in search of the freedom to be herself. Brave, adventurous, loyal, and clever, Nellie is a remarkable Australian Girl.
