A Truly Awesome Memory

As a kid, I used to stay up late and watch this series on Saturday nights. The theme song was one that I could sing for days.

Loved the idea of an Australian western. Sure wish some of these old shows were available to see again tonight.

I think that I was the only viewer in south Mississippi, as none of my friends ever got it.

That stagecoach and the crack of the whip were just music to my ears as an 11-year-old.

I was truly as upset as a kid could every have been when our local channel in New Orleans stopped airing it after only a few episodes.
