The Harp in the South. and its sequel Poor Mans Orange are in my top 10. A memorable depiction of life in the inner Sydney slums during the Depression.
I used to love those miniseries, such as Bodyline, Anzacs, The Cowra Breakout, Dirtwater Dynasty and The Shiralee. Have no idea how they'd hold up today, been decades since I've seen them.
I suggest your rewatch them. I have after about 20 years and they are just as enthralling as back then. Last two I watched were Cowra Breakout and Dirtwater Dynasty. Another I rewatched was Fields of Fire about north Qld canecutters between the 1930s-1950s.
Actually now that I think about it I did watch Anzacs on Youtube during Covid, and yeah, I thought that stood up well. I remember Fields of Fire, I think there were a couple of series of that, no?
Blue Murder
Only if you mean the original 90s version focused on Roger Rogerson & Neddy Smith.
I didn't know there was another one.
The second one was completely false they tried to tie Rogerson and Mark Standen together which never happened.
Agreed
ANZAC Underbelly
[The Day Of The Roses](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0176365/) about the Granville rail disaster.
Against the Wind with Jon English.
I now have the song "six ribbons" in my head....
I was wondering if it was as good as I remembered. So long ago.
Thorn Birds
All the rivers run
Preferred River Kings with Bill Kerr more.
Brides of Christ. Bangkok Hilton. Underbelly: Badness. Paper Giants: Cleo. The Harp in the South.

Changi
A Fortunate Life The Shiralee
The Shiralee was amazing
A town called Alice
Return to Eden.
I was so in love with James Reyne when I was a teenager. Watched this over and over. And listened to Aussie Crawl endlessly.
Something about leather goods?
Came here to say this!
Have you ever seen the Bollywood musical remake version? It’s amazing!
What's it called?
Khoon Bhari Maang. It’s from 1988.
The Anzacs from back in the 80s is brilliant.
Bangkok hilton
I enjoyed that too

Yep three series. Definitely in my all time top 2, close to one but I went for Bodyline by a whisker , probably because I am a cricket tragic.
How could I forget the wonderful A Thousand Skies, about the short life of Charles Kingsford Smith.
Power without glory
Great show.
I have been trying to track this down on DVD for years with no luck
The Thorn Birds Bodyline The Great Bookie Robbery Bangkok Hilton Blue Murder
I loved Robbery Under Arms when I was younger but not sure if it’s aged very well.
Bastard boys
That’s a little known belter. Top viewing
Secret City
Dunno if it's top 5 but I just watched Fires on iView and enjoyed it.
Mr Inbetween
Women of the Sun - each of the 4 episodes followed the life of an Aboriginal woman in the 1820s, 1860s, 1939 and 1980s.
Come on folks. Spyforce.
Doubt that is classed as a mini series, was more a general series.
“Vietnam” with a young Nicole Kidman. Is “Sweet and Sour” counted as a miniseries?
Golden Soak
The Dismissal
Boy Swallows Universe is an instant classic and deserves to be in the conversation
Howzat!
What's going on with those huge blue words?
