McLeod's Daughters (English pronunciation: /məˈklaʊdz ˌdɔːtəz/) is a Logie award-winning Australian drama series that aired on the Nine Network from 2001 to 2009. It tells the story of two sisters, Claire and Tess McLeod, who are reunited after they inherit the family farm. Brought together after 20 years apart they put together an all-female workforce and commit to life at Drovers Run in South Australia, 180 km from the nearest town and 400 km from the city. The show had a major cast change in the final episode of season three with main character Claire McLeod (Lisa Chappell) departing the show and co-star Simmone Jade Mackinnon who played Stevie Hall became a main character in the show.^[1] In season 5 we found out that Jodi Fountain's biological dad was Jack McLeod and that she is the result of Jack's affair with Jodi's mum Meg, which makes her the half-sister of Claire and Tess McLeod. From season four onwards, more McLeod women joined who were cousins of Claire, Tess and Jodi McLeod. On 31 January 2009 the Nine Network aired the show's 224th and final episode in a movie length special. The show suffered poor ratings after Bridie Carter (Tess) and Rachael Carpani (Jodi) departed in seasons 6 and 7 respectively. There were no original cast members left at the time the show ended. However, Rachael Carpani ( Jodi ) and Sonia Todd ( Meg ) appeared in the series finale just as the voice of Bridie Carter ( Tess )

Currently reruns are being shown on the Nine Network's new female skewed HD Multichannel GEM.

Plot

Jack McLeod dies and leaves his heavily mortgaged family farm, Drovers Run, to his daughters. Claire is Jack's daughter from his first marriage. His first wife, Prudence, died giving birth to Claire's brother Adam. He later married Ruth Silverman, and they had a daughter, Tess. The two girls were close growing up, but were separated when Ruth took five-year-old Tess back to the city. At the beginning of the series, Tess returns home to the place she left more than 20 years before.

Tess, who recently lost her mother to breast cancer, hopes to sell her share of the farm and open a café in the city, but is disappointed to be met with a less-than-rosy financial picture and the open resentment of her older sister. Claire fires the male workforce after they are caught stealing petrol from the farm, and the sisters run the farm themselves, with the help of housekeeper Meg Fountain, her daughter Jodi, and local girl Becky. The tentative partnership is the first step in the reunited sisters' effort to heal old wounds, improve their relationship, and lift the property out of debt.

Three years later, in October 2003, Claire’s best friend Stevie Hall arrived at Drovers Run to replace Becky, who left with Jake to run a farm. Weeks after Stevie arrived, and after Claire gave birth to a daughter and was about to become engaged to Alex Ryan, she loses her life in a tragic car accident, Tess was left to run Drovers by herself with the help of Stevie and the girls. Stevie invested her opals into Drover's Run, and Tess gave her 10% of the property, promising Stevie she would always have a home.

In March 2006, Tess and her husband Nick decide to leave Drovers to run a farm in Argentina. After finding letters and DNA support, Jodi discovered that Jack McLeod was her real father. Stevie is now running the family property with all the Jodi, with cousin Regan, and Jodi's best friend Kate Manfredi, who arrived in 2004.

In 2007, Jodi decides to go into witness protection with Matt, leaving Drover's Run. In Jodi's absence her part of the family property is given to her cousins Regan, Grace and Jazmine as per her "will" because she is presumed dead in a car accident, and cannot own property.

With Regan running the farm with Stevie, Tayler and Kate, Regan’s estranged sister Grace Kingston arrives at Drover's Run after getting a letter in the mail. Then late that year Stevie and Alex marry with Regan departing to study for her new job.

In 2009, Kate Manfredi leaves Drover's for a new job, and Regan returns after a year away; after her return Regan and Grace's sister Jasmine McLeod makes a surprising return to Drovers, hiding a dark secret. Stevie Hall's cousin Ben Hall arrives at Drovers to help out after Alex's death. Jodi Fountain-McLeod returns to Drover's Run to give birth, after coming out of witness protection with husband Matt.

Stevie always has a very strong voice on how Drover's Run should be run. Sometimes she hits the mark and sometimes she misses. But the sisters, Regan, Grace, and Jazmine, always support Stevie, and as family does, they come together and are there to love each other in good times and hard, in happy times and sad.

Series history

Posie Graeme-Evans developed the idea for McLeod's Daughters in the early 1990s for her company Millenium Television in conjunction with the South Australian Film Corporation. She also developed the idea for children's television programs such as The Miraculous Mellops and Hi-5. The idea was for a television drama set on an Australian rural property with two half-sisters running the property inherited from their father with an all-female workforce. She developed the idea from stories from friends who grew up in the country and from the love of South Australian landscapes as shown in the paintings of Hans Heysen.

Graeme-Evans pitched the idea to the board of the Nine Network who agreed to film a telemovie in 1996 with Jack Thompson starring as the father Jack McLeod, whose death leads to the two half-sisters (portrayed by Kym Wilson as Tess and Tammy MacIntosh as Claire) inheriting the property. Following the success of the telemovie shown on Mother's Day 1996 the Nine Network board agreed to commission a 22 episode series, but the project was left on the shelf for four years. It wasn't until late 2000 after the Opening Ceremony for the 2000 Sydney Olympics featured a The Man from Snowy River theme, which highlighted the cultural significance of the bush to Australians. The first episode of McLeod's Daughters eventually debuted in August 2001 and proved to be a hit, attracting 1.89 million viewers. The first series was a success, attracting an average of 1.5 million viewers per episode in Australia. The show aired in New Zealand on TV2, one of TVNZ's free-to-air channels. The final season on TV2 began airing a month after Australia and eventually became 10 episodes in front of Australia until the finale. Re-runs from Season 1 are currently on Vibe in New Zealand, a channel aimed at woman's programming.

The second season of McLeod's Daughters was equally successful, being the third most popular drama on Australian television. By 2003, the show was the most popular drama series on Australian television. Lisa Chappell, who played Claire McLeod, left the show in October 2003 to further her acting and singing career. Her character was killed off in the landmark episode 72 (season 3, episode 28) "My Noon, My Midnight", but appeared in episode 73 "The Long Goodbye" (3.29) as a figment of Tess' imagination.

The popularity of the program in Australia was highlighted when the show won four Logie Awards (Logies), including Lisa Chappell winning most popular female actor and Aaron Jeffery winning most popular actor, with the show itself winning most popular Australian drama series in 2004 and 2005.

The show then began to decline in popularity and perceived quality. Cast turn-over was high, and increasingly far-fetched explanations were employed to explain the sudden departure of formerly important characters. Rachael Carpani's departure in 2007 meant that the show had only one original cast member left, Aaron Jeffery, who left in 2008. 2007 marked the point at which many viewers considered the show to have "jumped the shark" as the show had drifted into a new direction, that of a soap opera; at that point, the show began to experience low ratings. Aaron Jeffery commented to The Daily Telegraph that his desire to depart from the show was due to the new direction the show was taking, which he did not like.

The 200th episode of McLeod's Daughters aired on 3 October 2007, with Hugh McLeod (Grace, Jasmine and Regan's father) returning for this special event. An entirely different script was originally written when one of the original cast (speculated to be Bridie Carter) agreed to come back; however, it was pulled at the last minute. Ratings for this episode were very poor by Australian standards, with only 1,008,000 viewers tuning in; the highest that season was 1,415,000 for episode 16.

The eighth and final season began on 23 July 2008 with the episode 203, "Aftermath," but after two further episodes, Channel 9 pulled the show from its schedule due to extremely low ratings. The remaining episodes were eventually aired from December to January in a double-episode format, with the final two episodes ("Into the Valley of the Shadow" and "The Long Paddock") airing on 31 January 2009^[2] with original cast members Rachael Carpani and Sonia Todd returning for the special event.

The final season began airing in the UK on the Hallmark Channel (now Universal Channel) on 12 October 2008 with double episodes every Sunday morning from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm. The final two episode aired in the UK on Sunday 21 December 2008, a month before the episodes aired in Australia.^[3] The show continues to air repeat episode on the Universal Channel weekday mornings at 6.00am, usually only seasons 6-8 in rotation.

In Ireland, RTÉ Two began airing the final season in mid-2010, with the final episode airing early 2011. This was the first time season 8 had been shown on the channel, as RTÉ had long period gaps between each season. In early 2011, the channel began airing the series from the beginning.

Production

Locations

A hotel in Freeling, is painted as the "Gungellan Hotel" for a set in McLeod's Daughters.

Locations in Gungellan:

• Drovers Run – Drovers Run is the main setting for the show. Drovers Run has been in the McLeod family for years, passed down to father, son, and now daughters. Claire McLeod, Tess McLeod, Jodi McLeod and Grace McLeod all have run Drovers Run along with part owners Stevie Ryan and Regan McLeod.

• Killarney – Killarney is also known as the Ryan Empire. At the start of the series Harry Ryan owned the property, and as he grew older his sons Alex and Nick took over. Nick then left to run a ranch in Argentina. Alex ran Killarney for a couple of years, until his biological father and half-brother Marcus became part owners of the property. In the final years of the show both Alex and Marcus own and run Killarney, although Alex became a largely absentee owner as he also began to spend much of his time on the ranch in Argentina.

• Kinsellas – Kinsellas is a local farm that was run by Sandra Kinsella from 2003–2006. The name was changed after Heath Barret bought it.

• The Local Pub – The Local Pub is where everyone goes for a drink after a hard days labour. Becky worked there in 2001, Jodi worked there briefly in 2005 and Tayler also worked there briefly in 2007. The pub is most likely the only pub in Gungellan.

• The Truck Stop – The Truck Stop is where most of town buy their supplies and when they need fuel. It was first owned by Ken Logan then Harry Ryan. When Harry was owner Terry Dodge managed it then Moira Doyle, Later on Moira and Regan McLeod went into business supplying the fuel, Phill Rakich was the last owner.

• The Town Hall – The Town Hall is where most major events are held, such as the Miss Gungellan contest, plays, and the town's birthday celebration.

• Fisher – Gungellan's closest neighboring town.

McLeod's Daughters is filmed on location at Kingsford, a 35-acre (55ha) propertyon the outskirts of Gawler. Gawler is one hour north of Adelaide, which Posie Graeme-Evans refers to as "our very own backlot". Kingsford was originally part of a 30,000-acre (12,245ha) property, Kingsford has been used in recent years by the South Australian Government as a wheat research starion. The property was purchased by The Nine Network in 1999. The Historical house was built from Edinburgh sandstone, transported to Australia as a ship ballast. The house took over 30 years to build and was finished by 1856. The producers of McLeod's Daughters were thrilled to have a location. Although Kingsford was a grand property at the time, it is now quite run down - a look that was important for the production design of the series, as the McLeod family has no money for maintenance.

The interior scenes set at Drover's Run are all, in fact, filmed inside the house. It added authenticity to the production, and it was convenient in that the large rooms and high ceilings were ideal for filming. Kingsford was a working farm in its day.^[4]

Filming

The show was shot on Super 16mm film,^[5] and is the first Australian drama series to be delivered in HDTV format. Three cameras were used, two on main unit and the third on second unit. The cinematography is vast and in composition is beautiful. Director of phototography, Roger Dowling had masterfully created the illusion that the series is shot on 200,000-hectare property in the Australian bush, instead of on a heritage estate, the size of a hobby farm, one hour north of Adelaide.^[6]
