Episodes
The Long Paddock
Enthusiastic young vet Jill Blake arrives in the dusty one-horse town of Paringa to find only a curt note directing her to her spartan new home. When her new boss, the notoriously "difficult" Kate McDonald, turns up, her attitude is as dry as the drought-stricken landscape.
You Can't Eat Scenery
Jill is shocked by the austerity of life in the drought stricken area, and is sensitive to every sign of distress and decline. From the bruise on Gail Klein's cheek to Kate's attempt to exclude her from Tom Huppatz's father's funeral, Jill senses there is much amiss in this place, and it goes far beyond the lack of rain.
Paringa Rules
Achmed Aziz, an Iraqi agronomist, arrives on a study tour and Kate fears he will submit a report on the condition of the local sheep. Having rebuffed Jill's attempts to empathise with her, Kate then forces her to co-operate with a plan to cover up the sheep problem until the drought breaks, after which it will be irrelevant.
Black and White
Kate is injured in a cattle yard accident, forcing Jill to run the practice on her own. It seems the order of the world has been restored when Jill gets to do some refreshingly routine vet work and achieves results, mostly without Kate's help or interference. But her world is thrown off kilter again when she and Kate perform highly illegal life-saving surgery on Larry Riley.
The Call of the Wild
With Jill almost reconciled to the idea of an imperfect future with Kate, the past catches up with her when her father and brother, then Shane, all descend on them for an impromptu country lunch.
The Soldiers Choice
Relieved of the burden of her secret, Kate appears to have lost the will to challenge the area's destiny.
