Aired: 2008, 2010-2011 (ABC Australia)



Louisa Atherton (Kerry Armstrong) is 49-years-old and to date has lived a privileged and superficial life. When her wealthy husband Jack drops dead in the arms of another woman, Louisa thinks things can't get worse - until she discovers that he's left her bankrupt. Louisa is forced to go back to her tiny home town, Rainbow's End, with her tail between her legs. As she re-negotiates her relationships with her prickly mother Minna (Julia Blake) and recalcitrant kids, she learns to understand herself for the first time in her life. Louisa also comes to realise that her small town's history will play a vital role in her future.

Holly trying to give her mother dating advice was funny but Tim and Nick's rivalry for Louisa's comes to a head when he sees him broken down at the side of the road but dumping him in the bush was a little ex-stream and Louisa running the story about the Golden Speckled Leaping Legless Lizard was unfortunate when Holly confesses to her about her lizard hoax

Author: bala    Time: 4-4-2011 12:09     Subject: Reply 12#12 codebreaker's post

Well i have to say that your summary of event is good but you really didn't offer an opinion on the situation in the episode .

It's a shame she didn't think about keep material inside in case it rained. I have to say her rainbow friend really did a great job but i can't believe they managed do all of that in 1 day, it look a bit ridiculous it must taken couples days to fix up and paint it.

Louisa driving to Melbourne and visits Anna who was responsible for Jack's affair however i felt she really didn't add anything she looked at bit confused and couldn't get a read on her but Holly finding out was sad i suppose she would eventually found out but it must be hard since she really loved her dad.

I noticed most episode in this show are over 50 minutes .
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-4-2011 13:09     Subject: 3x07 Insurgent Activity

When the Army come to Rainbow's End to perform a training exercise but breaking into Minna and Frida's home by mistake on their training exercise was amusing and I'm not surprised that Louisa was shocked to learn Nick was once a tent-boxer who almost killed someone, that was awkward for Holly when she finds him in the arms of a female Army cadet

Well louisa and nick would never worked she keeps saying the wrong thing but the golden nuggets did look awful but i still can't believe she wasted money on that. She seemed to have spends most of money she had, i wonder what she's going to do i mean it's not like she's rich any more?.

Sean really wants a second chance with Holly and the way he help to get the guys out of the pub was impressive but i would of liked to of seen what happened when they got to Gregg's place, all the ladies thinking they caused Gavin's heart attack was amusing

Good episode with Nick and Sean out on a fly-fishing trip and Marty taking a stuffed panther out to the bush to photograph but trust him to take a blurred photo of the real thing. Minna, Louisa and Holly getting stranded in the bush with the not so mythical panther after all
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-15-2011 12:32     Subject: 3x12 Forged By Fire

What a series finale with adverse weather conditions and fire warnings but when a car is found in the national park and Nick and his crew are sent to investigate, however the fire truck goes missing leaving everyone deeply concerned and when the photographer who's car was responsible for the guys getting trapped turns up at the pup Louisa has him chucked out but the wedding was a great way to end the show
