This show is fantastic!! It is unique to me because (although I now live in Canada) I grew up in Sydney, Australia. It is so authentic that it brings back wonderful memories when I see the types of cars, hear the slang,, see the beautiful scenery, seeing them ride the horses and, of course, Sydney Harbour with the amazingly beautiful Bridge and Opera House. . The actors and actresses are amazing and genuine!! The storyline changes a lot and in great ways which keeps it really interesting. It is , suspenseful, dramatic and is humorous as well. I truly recommend it. It is for everyone to see and enjoy. Especially if you were a child in the 1950's who will recognize life back then. If you are of a younger generation then it will blow you away finding out about how things were back then compared to now. You will all enjoy it!!

A whole cast of incredibly talented charactors, in this the most addictive, compelling, spellbound drama. Set in post war Australia. Full of so much intrigue, secrets & lies, lost loves, raceism, raw passion and sadness. Every element and emotion based on the heroic life of Sara. Her strength,compassion and integrity affects the lives of everyone she meets. Cant wait for the new seasons to come.
