Storyline
Hardship and respect for the land are the key values at Drovers Run, which is a vast cattle and farming property in the Australian outback that once belonged to Jack McLeod. Initially, after his passing, his two daughters, Claire and Tess McLeod, are reunited to decide the property’s future. After Claire's shock death, Tess McLeod and Stevie Hall (Claire’s best friend) ran Drovers with workers Meg, Jodi and Kate. Tess married Nick, Then Jodi discovered she was Tess’s sister, so Tess sold-half of Drovers Run to Jodi before Tess moved to Argentina with husband Nick, where she gave birth to her daughter Claire, and so Jodi Fountain-McLeod ran Drovers along with cousin Regan McLeod, part owner Stevie, and farm-hands Kate and Moira. However since Jodi’s departure with Matt into Witness Protection, part owner Stevie Hall and sisters Grace & Regan McLeod (cousin's of Jodi, Tess & Claire McLeod) ran Drover’s with the assistance of Kate, Moria and Tayler. Then in 2008, Grace's sister Jaz McLeod returns with a dark secret and stays on to help sister Grace and widow of Alex; Stevie Hall along with Moria Doyle and Tayler Geddes.Drovers Run Sign
