Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Author Tom Winton adopts his own acclaimed novel to the screen in this mini-series about two disparate rural families struggling to build a better life in Perth, Australia during the 1940s and '50s. The Lambs are a staunchly religious family who value hard work and faith in God; the Pickles are a hard-luck clan of outcasts. Forced under the same roof in Perth, the two families with nothing in common find that together they have the strength to endure any challenge that life has to offer. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Originally broadcast as a six episode mini-series on Showcase in 2011.
Two flawed families, each scarred by catastrophe, find a home for their hearts in an acclaimed Australian miniseries. Adapted by Tim Winton from his award-winning novel, set around Perth from 1943-63, it's gripping, poignant, and gorgeous. The Lambs are hardworking and God-fearing, the Pickles are luckless and derelict, yet they find common ground beneath the same roof. Exquisitely filmed with an outstanding ensemble cast led by Kerry Fox.
