Are you old enough to remember the biggie that started it all in 1978 - Against the Wind - starring Jon English.

The miniseries also sparked a resurgence in Australian classics being made into shows - including Ruth Park, Nevil Shute's A Town Like Alice, Thorn Birds, Catherine Gaskin's Sara Dane to name the ones I watched.
