I don't think that I've ever seen the mini-series you mentioned - maybe it never got to Austria.<br />It's a pity that Australian literature is so little known hereabouts... I'll certainly review other works from Australia every now and then.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment Brona!Edith LaGrazianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07885017198423641770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322995747669796194.post-42527501746891108962014-04-02T10:23:28.071+02:002014-04-02T10:23:28.071+02:00I love seeing Australian stories beings enjoyed al...I love seeing Australian stories beings enjoyed all around the world. This book was made into a fabulous mini-series back in the 1980's. I was a highly impressionable teenager at the time and loved the series and afterwards my first reading of the book.<br /><br />Joe was played by a then unknown Bryan Brown :-)Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322995747669796194.post-57772585829398562432014-03-31T13:22:33.612+02:002014-03-31T13:22:33.612+02:00Happy you liked the review, Joanne Marie... and I ...Happy you liked the review, Joanne Marie... and I hope that you'll enjoy the novel, too.
