Based on Banjo PatersonÕs poem ÓMan From Snowy RiverÓ, this series takes place in PatersonÕs Ridge, a small town set in the mountains near Melbourne, during the late 19th century. It tells the story of Matt McGregor, one of the richest and most influential man in town, as well as widower father of three children: Colin, whoÕs the town preacher, Rob and Danni, the tomboy youngest daughter. Unresolved sexual tension comes in the form of MattÕs childhood independent, free-spirited friend, the recently widowed Kathleen OÕNeil, who returned to PatersonÕs Ridge with her son after having spent many years in England.
