- GoofsExecutions in NSW during the 19th Century were not carried out in remote rural areas and were certainly not by handing a person from a tree. Executions were carried at Sydney and larger rural towns (e.g. Bathurst, Albury, Mudgee), Most executions were carried out inside a gaol by prison staff, not by police.

Featured review
This is a well written story capable of building a strong emotional bond with the audience. A woman raising a family on her own in the wilderness of ancient Australian high country. Excellent acting by Leah Purcell rich with motherly emotions and fierce protector. Rest of the cast supplements too. Clever use of visuals of lush and lonely high country that seem to have no end, is both scenic and haunting at the same time. A wide range of characters that lets this tale touch on many key developments in ancient socities despite all the unlawfulness and savagery. Molly Johnson's life is a wonderful tale that's told well.
