All things McLeod's Daughters

posiewriter So here we are. Twenty years ago to this date McLeods Daughters went to air. Did everyone who worked on the series, cast and crew alike, know it would be a phenomenon? I guess we hoped it would work. I certainly did. But did I know? Sort of. Maybe. But then upstepped the cast, that beautiful landscape, that magnificent rundown homestead… and yes, it worked. It really did. And it’s still being watched all around this small blue planet on the outer edges of the Milky Way. McLeods in space. Why not? But. How on this earth do you sum up 224 hours of all location, all film story-telling in 10 images? Just about impossible. Not a hope of fitting all our stars on this small screen. Or everyone who contributed with all their hearts and skill. But one thing Andrew and I do want to do is say thank you to you all. Without our wonderful cast, our crew, those locations, that music AND the vast number of supporters all over the world, this remarkable - and that’s what I think it is - piece of work could never, ever have happened. So. That first image is the shot that finished the run. The last time the women from Drover’s Run rode past that windmill together. And yes, here we are, again. And I’d like to ask a favour. If you would like to see the film I’m writing get made in these crazy days, can you please let me know? And spread the word? Just would be very helpful right now. Thankyou for sticking with McLeods. Thank you for all the posts, the messages, the laughter and the tears through these years and years. And for your loyalty. Without you all, all over the world, we’d never have come this far. Our love and thanks. 🙏❤️🙏
