Karena L @RT30285059 Nov 26, 2025 Just binged season 2 of this great Aussie series. Mark Coles-Smith has matured into the role so you can clearly see how the character would evolve into Aaron Pederson's. His relationship with Mary was sweet to watch & his brother Spotty provided some light-hearted moments. It shows some of the sad history of Aboriginal people that continues to the current generation. Gorgeous bush scenery of south-west WA. See more Read all reviews
