Approaching Tide

Finally released from gaol, Will Crosby, quits England for a new life in Queensland, hoping to regain self-confidence, and the lost esteem of his former 'wife', Alice. However, his hopes are soon dashed when a typhus epidemic breaks out on board The Emigrant which is then re-directed to the ill-prepared quarantine station on Stradbroke Island.

In cele din urma, eliberat din inchisoare, Will Crosby paraseste Anglia pentru o noua viata in Queensland, sperand sa-si recapete increderea in sine si stima pierduta a fostei sale ,,sotii", Alice. Cu toate acestea, sperantele lui sunt naruite in curand cand o epidemie de tifos izbucneste la bordul Emigrantului, care este apoi redirectionat catre statia de carantina prost pregatita de pe insula Stradbroke.
