I bought this DVD to revive the memories of a broadcast from my childhood years. It costs quite higher than an average single-disk DVD from Amazon and I still thought it is worth having it on DVD at home.

On first seconds of the film I was surprised with quality. The picture is quite grainy with dust pieces visible. The tape was not edited or remastered. Yet this is not the major disappointment.

This is only the second part or mini-series of the two. The one here starts when the main characters are alreay married with kids and running their boat. The whole chunk about Deli's arrival to Australia and childhood, as well as how she met Brenton was in the first part, not included here. Plus, the VHS-version reviews state that the American edition (as well as Australian DVD) was heavily edited from the original broadcast.

I guess, I wasted $18+SH on something which will stand on my shelf. What I want is a complete mini-series (both parts) and this edition sold here is not the thing.

Picking up where the first series left off. Most of the original cast are back for more adventures along the Mighty Murray River. Deli played this time by Nikki Coghill, John Waters returns as Brenton "Teddy" Edwards. Brillant, Captivating, Moving!!

I'm sorry I spent time watching this movie, always hoping that somewhere it would make sense, hoping the "Journey of Faith and Hope" would somehow lead to a happy family reunion, which almost happens, then is "killed" by an ending that makes no sense at all. I hope I can get [...] bucks at my next garage sale for this piece of garbage!

This movie was enjoyed by all in the family. You are a great seller with fast service.
