"The Challenge is the fifth novel in E. V. Timm's great saga of Australian life. It tells of the gold discoveries of the 1850's - those fevered years when men and women from all the corners of the earth thronged to Australia, lured on by the promise of wealth and the challenge of adventure. it describes a turning-point in the country's history, when the old, grim days passed away for ever and men turned with a new spirit to the future and the beginning of nationhood."
