Reception
The series had a merely mediocre success in Australia but inspired many German spectators because it portrayed Australia in a way that met their expectations at a time when a new wave of German immigrants was about to come. Their reasons were among others: many areas in Germany being relatively overcrowded, high housing costs and Australia's beauty.
