Brimming with passion, romance, and intrigue, this compulsively watchable drama has all the right ingredients: an aristocratic family, a country estate, a powerful widowed matriarch, buried secrets, sprawling cast, period costumes, and a great soundtrack. Set in Australia against the social change of the 1950s, it stars Marta Dusseldorp (Jack Irish, Janet King) as nurse Sarah Adams, who has returned home after 20 years in Europe and the horrors of WWII. Collector's set includes all 6 seasons of this "down-under 'Downton'" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram), plus 6 drink coasters and cocktail stirrers, a stationery set with 6 note cards and envelopes, and an 8-page booklet featuring an interview with series creator and writer Bevan Lee. 67 episodes, 54 ½ hrs, 20 DVDs, SDH.
