The year 1852, left a poor, eight year old English boy orphaned, and in search of a better life far away from dismal England. A life jimmy Grant soon discovered to be treacherous, yet hopeful, in the new found land of Australia.

Jimmy, and his friend China, accused of stealing a precious gem embedded egg-shaped stone, escape into the country's red heart.

Exhausted and near death, the two are welcomed into the camp of Ol' Dhinewan, an ancient Aborigine.

Ol' Dhinewan's voice, and tales of creation, the will of good and of evil, fade into Jimmy Grant's mind as he begins to sleep, and dream.

Dreams become reality with time travel of exciting and dangerous adventures woven together. The gem embedded egg-shaped stone is now the Rainbow Serpent's lost egg, the egg of love.

With the help from the legendary Tuckonies, giant emus, and enormous wallabies, Jimmy and China have no time to waste in a desperate attempt to return the precious egg, to the Valley of Time.

Facing the Black Swamp Serpent's treachery, and with the zenith of a full moon, the boys eventually reach a point of no return.
