The Shiralee

My father loved the relationship between Macaulay and Buster so slightly altered the spelling so I would not be a burden all my life and called me Sherilee! I have the book and have read and re-read it but would love to see the film! How do I get to see it? No one I have asked has ever heard of it before!

I adored this from start to finish. It was like stepping back in time to be a fly-on-the-wall in the lives of Mac, Buster and everyone they cross paths with. Every actor in this was full of character and so natural, real life. It was charming with repeats throughout of Mac and Buster walking country roads, revisiting the same characters with the stories extending each time. The filmmakers did an amazing job with how this was shot. Honestly I shed a tear at remembering these kind of days before the Internet took over but I'm so grateful for it to because it brought me this gem I never would of seen without it!

I saw this movie for the first time when I was eight years old. It was on the Disney Channel. It is the best and sweetest movie I have ever seen. I wish now that we had a copy of it. If you can find a copy of it, I would definetly recommend watching it!

My kids & I watched this movie on the Disney channel I believe about 16 or 17 years ago and we still talk about it today. Bryan Brown was excellent and so was the little girl who played his "shiralee". We love Australian movies (at least the ones we have seen) and would love to see this one again and again.

well worth all efforts made to watch this movie.Cannot wait to purchase this movie,an extremely GOOD movie!! Brian Brown shines in this movie I believe as does his co star Rebecca Smart.
