"Mom: Fascinated by all the sheep stuff. The tail docking and mulcing was a little gross the first time I read it, but interesting all the same. Great characters and lots of details. Definitely continuing with the series. "

" Listened to this book; didn't enjoy it as much as Outback Station, but it was still good. Interesting epic about Australia. "

" I reread this first of a series after quite a few years. I don't know that I'll continue to read the rest of the series but it was well written. After awhile though the story lines were very similar. "

" Really enjoyed this book and learning a little about the history of Australia. It is a three part book with sort of three separate stories as the characters age. My favorite was the first part! "

" One of my favorite books ever. For what it is worth, it is my Dad's favorite too. "

" I will give a review of this book when others in the "sweeping Saga group" have read..too many spoilers I would be given away..& the reason I didnt give it a 5 star. <br/> "

" Excellent. I now really want to read more about this time period in Australia's history. The story focuses on three different generations of an Outback sheep raising family. I will look for more books by this author or on this subject. "
