Set in 1900, a small town is the backdrop for this award-winning 13-part children's drama series about a group of children living in Wainamu, a thermal region in the centre of New Zealand. The story portrays the conflict between the world of the Maori and the white settlers when Sir Charles Pemberton arrives from the United Kingdom on advice from his doctor, and has an idea to build a health spa on Maori land. A friendship grows between local lad Tom, (the son of the owner of the hotel where Sir Charles stays) and Sarah Jane (Sir Charles' granddaughter). Meanwhile a local villain is brought to justice, the Maoris foretell a catastrophe and a volcano erupts, showing the danger of interfering with Maori land. Written by Roger Simpson.
