One of the best movies ever made. I am surprised that Australia could produce such an authentic and well acted presentation. It revealed just how much Australia was a clone of mother England. Along with the electrifying entertainment, so much can be learned from this film about loyalty and devotion, about forgiveness and personality correction, and things we should all avoid such as greed, snobbery, jealousy hatred and racism. If i had any criticism it was that at times, so many predicaments were happening at once, it became overwhelming. Having said that for an old movie snoozer like myself, i just couldn't nod off for a second.;..and i haven't even seen the last episode yet. Peter
