They battle drought, flood and fire. The wife of neighbour Angus McAllister dies and they help raise their daughter Cathy. Years go by and the children grow up.

They are accompanied by Angus and Cathy McAllister. By this stage Cathy is engaged to the second son, Barney. The O'Riordan brothers clear the land and start building a slab hut. Cathy realises she is in love with Shane and he falls for her. A huge storm his the farm and the brothers fight. Barney knocks out Shane, hurting his spine. Shane recovers, Barney earns his forgiveness by working hard. Shane and Cathy are married.
