One of the Best Children's Series Ever

This is one of my favorite children's series of all time. The locations, sets, special effects are excellent. This second series of Spellbinders is even better than the first. A teenage girl from the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia and her family trip between parallel worlds having incredible adventures.

The worlds include that of the Dragon Lord, The Mechanicals and a parallel Sydney Australia.

Excellent locations in Sydney, China and Poland. Great cast of Australian and international actors. Sydney looks beautiful with such locations as Manly and what appears to be Narrabeen.

I enjoyed watching this series with my children and eventually watched the first series when it was repeated. I would like to get the second series on DVD when it is available.

If you like Spellbinders you will also like the Australian/New Zealand series of "Mirror Mirror"
