2013-10-04_0956Here’s a novel idea that we should have more of… nostalgic TV shows being celebrated by actors and fans.

Fans of McLeod’s Daughters who live in Adelaide will have the opportunity to relive their memories when Simmone Jade Mackinnon and Michala Banas introduce episodes of the show for fans -with the chance to win a weekends getaway at the former Drover’s Run.

But be quick -you have to register fast for these limited placed.

In a celebration of its partnership with the Adelaide Film Festival, Channel Nine is bringing Drovers Run to its Tynte Street studio for a special event: McLeod’s Daughters Day.

Special guests Simmone Jade Mackinnon and Michala Banas will present their favourite episodes of McLeod’s Daughters, one of Australia’s most popular TV dramas, in two sessions with fans on Sunday, October 13.

Fans of the series, which won eight Logie Awards, are invited to register now to secure their place, with each free session limited to 150 people.

Guests will enjoy country-style food and hear “straight from the horse’s mouth” what life was really like for the big cast on Drovers Run. They will have the chance to win an all-inclusive weekend getaway at Kingsford Homestead – the television home of McLeod’s Daughters which is now an award-winning, luxury country retreat on the edge of the Barossa Valley

Mackinnon played audience favourite Stevie Hall in 154 episodes of the classic series.

“I love SA. I loved living there. I loved the people. I loved the countryside and let’s not forget about the wine.

“I’m looking forward to reconnecting with some of the wonderful and very supportive McLeod’s fans and revisiting the old homestead. It’s going to be one very special weekend,” she said.

Banas joined the cast in 2004 as Kate Manfredi and loved her three years on the series.

“I loved the people and all the animals I had the privilege of working with. I remember being so nervous and anxious before I moved to Adelaide, and it ended up being one of the most fun experiences of my career,” she said

McLeod’s Daughters was the first prime-time drama series to be filmed entirely in South Australia. The series was a co-production between Millennium Television and the Nine Network and produced with the assistance of the South Australian Film Corporation.

  1. Hello from the U.S. We had never heard of this show until this year, after cutting our cable and watching shows through HULU instead. We’ve been watching it at the rate of about 3 or 4 shows nightly, and are into the 8th season now, with 18 shows left, and somewhat dread having it end. Without a doubt, hands down, it is the best tv series we’ve ever seen.
    Count us as huge fans.

  2. What a wonderful idea, some very lucky people are going to have an enjoyable experience. Watched every episode of this series great Australian TV we should be proud of.

  4. such an underrated show right until the last episode which was played past midnight on a saturday in summer. Must have had great international sales. when i was in europe a lot of people seemed to know about it and associated it with Australia straight away.
