She needs to leave Sydney to recuperate, and an invitation for Esther and the children to stay at her parent’s property ‘Yarrahappini’ provides a wonderful opportunity for a country holiday for them all. She finally makes it but has become very ill. Judy is determined to return home at all costs. She is sent away to boarding school by her father in an attempt to improve her behaviour. Vivacious and unruly, Judy (Jennifer Cluff) is the ringleader and leads her six siblings into constant trouble. The war of wills between the Captain and his troop of independent minded sons and daughters is tempered by the gentle guidance of the children’s kindhearted stepmother, Esther. Captain John Woolcot tries to run his household with regimental discipline, but his rules and regulations are no match for his seven fun-loving children. The family lives in their large home ‘Misrule’ by the Parramatta River. It is based on Ethel Turner’s best-selling novel, Seven Little Australians. This is the story of the Woolcot family – Captain John Woolcot (Leonard Teale) from the NSW Regiment, his young second wife Esther (Elizabeth Alexander), and his seven children and their adventures in late 19th century Sydney.
