The read
The series ran 1 season across 13 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.
Synopsis
In 1829, a recently widowed Englishman brings his children to New South Wales to claim land and begin a new life, only to find it already occupied. Forced to settle as squatters, the family faces mounting challenges from colonial authorities, rival settlers, and the harsh conditions of the frontier.
