The Shiralee

Streaming video - 1987

The critically-acclaimed Australian mini-series starring Bryan Brown and Rebecca Smart, is presented in it's original uncut TV format of two 90-minute episodes. Macauley is a swagman on the road in the 1940s looking for work. He's a laid back, laconic sort of bloke but when he gets landed with his daughter after his drunken play-girl wife in Adelaide makes him face up to what she believes are his responsibilities, neither he nor his daughter are ready for each other. But in the beginning he's all she's got, and at the end, she's all he's got.
