The land grabs threaten to destroy the declining dynasty
Story
When the massive Lawson cattle station lacks an heir, Australia's rival factions see a chance to seize control. The series was filmed across the Northern Territory and South Australia in locations so remote they’re barely inhabited – let alone shown on-screen.
It&# 39;s Yellowstone set in the rugged outback of northern Australia!
Locations include the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park – with special permission from the Traditional Owners – and Tipperary Station, a real-life, working cattle station that's so large it has its own airfield and school.. And if that sounds both fun and slightly over the top, that’s exactly what it is.I’m only a few episodes in, but it’s already hitting all the marks. Rampaging bulls? Yep. Bar fights?
Rampaging killer dingoes (?!) You betchaThe cheesiness is held in place by some nice performances, particularly from the ever-reliable Anna Torv and the marvelous Robert Taylor, here playing a flabbier, viler and more misogynistic version of Kevin Costner' ;s Yellowstone characterThe best character, though, is the scenery, which is every bit as stunning as you'd expectI'm looking forward to finishing this one!
Tick.
