A Place to Call Home

We've been getting this on DVD's from the library...lots of fun to watch. Jim and I usually don't find a lot that we like but this is keeping our interest and Marta Dusseldorp is an amazing actress.

From Wiki:

A Place to Call Home is an Australian television drama series created by Bevan Lee for the Seven Network. It premiered on 28 April 2013.[1] Set in rural New South Wales in the period following the Second World War, it follows Sarah Adams (Marta Dusseldorp), who has returned to Australia after twenty years abroad to start a new life and ends up clashing with wealthy matriarch Elizabeth Bligh (Noni Hazlehurst). The main cast also includes Brett Climo (George Bligh), Craig Hall (Dr. Jack Duncan), David Berry (James Bligh), Abby Earl (Anna Poletti), Arianwen Parkes-Lockwood (Olivia Bligh), Aldo Mignone (Gino Poletti), Sara Wiseman (Carolyn Bligh), Jenni Baird(Regina Standish), Tim Draxl (Henry Fox), Dominic Allburn (Harry Polson), and Frankie J.
