According to the reports, the series will follow the same plotline as its source material ‘Australia’. The plot revolves around Lady Sarah Ashley who inherits a large cattle ranch the Farawat Downs after her husband’s death. As a cattle baron, King Carney plots to take away her inheritance, she teams up with a cattle drover to protect the ranch. The story takes a surprising turn as it is explored through the eyes of a bi-racial Indigenous Australian child, Nullah, who gets caught up in the government’s draconian racial policy.

While the film had a runtime of 165 minutes, as ‘Faraway Downs’ is a six-episode miniseries, it might be considerably longer than its source material.
