Minami no Niji no Lucy

Set in the late 1830s, a family migrates from England to the Australian frontier with the dream of owning a farm. The harsh land they find is completely untamed and it is difficult to survive compared to their comfortable life back in Yorkshire. The youngest daughter Lucy May is a lively animal lover and is thrilled to see all of the wildlife around them. Along with her older sister Kate, they spend countless hours running around the unexplored wilderness surrounding their new home, even meeting indigenous people.

Unfortunately, the family's dream of running their own farm remains out of reach due to various financial setbacks and her father Arthur was gradually losing hope. In the middle of all this, Lucy May loses her memory in an accident and taken in by the millionaire Princeton couple. Her memories eventually resurface and she is reunited with her family, but the Princetons ask to adopt Lucy May, since she reminds the couple of their long-lost daughter...
