'The small Australian town of Gubba is celebrating the centenary of its white settlement, when gold was discovered in the surrounding hills; but there are two factions in the town, with different ideas about how to celebrate.
The climax of this social comedy comes with the rediscovery of gold where it is least expected, and the triumph of the true spirit of the town.'
