Found the book in a second hand store on sat so spent the day reading it yesterday. My hubbie downloaded the series and I stayed up til 3 this morning watching it. The series is a brilliant adaption of the book . I love each very much. They don't make them like they used to. I love Bryan Brown
Hell yeah!! I saw most of it on PBS around 1983 and I was gripped. I haven't seen it again till I looked it up here on YouTube just this moment. Bryan Brown's best work. In the eighties, these Masterpiece Theater classics really commanded attention and were seen by millions. I recall seeing posters for it in bus stops.
Yes definitely. Unlike the Peter Finch/Virginia McKenna version this tells the whole story of the book and the acting of Bryan Brown and Helen Morse is superb. Get it if you can.
I remember watching this on Masterpiece Theatre on PBS... It made such an impression that when I travelled to Australia I HAD to visit Alice Springs..
My all time favorite mini series. Incredibly moving and engaging. Certainly the best thing Bryan Brown and Helen Morse ever did. They had tremendous chemistry, and the script almost outshone the book and when is the last time that happened? Definately deserves a new DVD edition , with restored color maybe.

Why don't they put it on DVD, have to transfere it if I can find it on VHS.

The bryan Brown mini series was the best ever. UK peeps were glued to the screen. Very hard to find and it was not commercially released.
Damn!

Great series! I've loved the book since high school. Absolutely wonderful and inspirational.

There is a DVD of it - it's fairly low quality, and I'm not entirely sure where we got it, but it's sitting next to me as I type.
