What to expect
When Amelia, Sophie and Charlotte arrive in the dusty outback town of Garnet Creek during their gap year, they expect nothing more than a quick stop at the campground attached to an abandoned hotel. What they don’t expect is to find themselves completely charmed by a town that’s barely changed in decades.
Sitting around the campfire one evening, the girls dare to dream: what if they could transform the forgotten hotel into the heart of the community again – a proper pub where locals and travellers alike could gather?
The locals, however, are suspicious and not ready to embrace change. The town council is hostile, and tensions run high. Meanwhile, Amelia finds herself drawn to Jake Sullivan, a talented builder caught between his loyalty to the town and his growing feelings for her.
Can three young women turn doubt into acceptance and transform a struggling town?
