The Shiralee is a 1987 Australian television film directed by George Ogilvie, based on the 1955 novel of the same name by D'Arcy Niland. It was originally filmed as a mini series and was shot in Adelaide and Quorn, South Australia.
Episode #1.1. Landing a job on a ranch in Southern Australia, "Mac" Macauley falls hard on his boss' daughter, Lily. But a wealthy rival conspires to have him run out of town. Mac finds work as a carnival boxer and weds fellow worker Marge, more out of despair over his lost Lily than out of love.
Given this was actually filmed in Australia, the vast continent's beauty was eclipsed by poor dialogue. Alas, dirt roads that led to nowhere was the height of the tourist trap. I gingerly recommend for Bryan Brown fans but assume no redeeming qualities provided. At the least, I am aware of what Shiralee means. 10/10.
