If you're expecting this to be just like the movies "Man from Snowy River" or "Return to Snowy River" you will be surprised. The place is the same, and the main character is said to be the man from Snowy River. However, this was a TV series that just used the movies as a jumping off spot. The stories are great, covering a variety of topics that dealt with real life in that era, and many that are timeless. It was a time when there was right and wrong, and people cared about each other. These are great, family-friendly shows.
