01. Movers and Shakers

A stranger arrives in Emu Springs. Who is he? Whoever he is, it's clear he's not impressed with the local radio station 3ES where Ryan is in the chair and station manager Helen Virtue is enchanted with the rhythms of the Tango. Julia Rutherford tries to organise a forthcoming ball but her committee members are more interested in the arrogant new arrival. It's Ryan and the ambitious Megan McGregor who finally put a name to the face and a voice to the man. It's Golden Tonsils himself, Tom Dooley.

Harry sacks Tom, but the damage has been done.

Tom then wrongly identifies Helen as an ally and says he won't work without her. Helen accepts the challenge. When Harry learns that Len has 'spun a yarn' about early Oz Rock, he is not concerned. He's found a new friend in Emu Springs.

After Tom narrowly avoids colliding with Dr Eva's rail trolley, he uses the airways to vent his road rage. He challenges her right to use the line and her professional approach as a doctor.

And what he finds out surprises him. She doesn't seem to have any. When he broadcasts this fact to Emu Springs, the small town becomes divided. Meanwhile things in Helen's home life are also pressing; Harry is evasive of work at school and Joe is obsessed with his new stud ram who refuses to mate with his ewes. Just what is the problem?

Emu Springs is a pressure cooker. Joe is frustrated by the non-performing ram who won't reproduce. Harry has been asked to write an essay on his life but nothing's coming. After the death of his dad, his life seems empty. He looks to inspiration from Helen , but she is too busy dealing with the war between Tom and Dr Eva. He goes to Len for help and inadvertently becomes party to an act of betrayal. The footy team has decided, because of Len's ill health, to drop him as coach. Outwardly Len takes the news with courage and anger but he is devastated. Harry tries to cheer him up with some of Dr Eva's healing oils. Despite the writ Dr Eva has issued against Tom, he continues informing his listeners about Eva's absence of qualifications. Dr Eva is concerned her patients will lose confidence in her. But when Len collapses it is Dr Eva who Mon turns to for help.

36. We Will Remember Them

The town is in mourning for Len on this, the day of the funeral. Wayne is trying to shepherd his mother through her grieving, but Mon is very much in denial, even to the extent that she determinedly opens the store. Finally, after an outburst with Father Brian, she and Wayne have an authentic conversation about Wayne's relationship with his Dad. Harry and Helen, too, begin to face Warwick's death; Helen for the first time acknowledging the positives of her relationship with Warwick. Tom and Megan hold the fort at the station during the wake, and Tom bluffs his way through a detailed agricultural conversation - by the skin of his teeth. At Len's wake, Harry surprises everyone by playing a tape that Len made just before his death, while Helen slips home and makes her own, private peace with Warwick. Finally, Mon is alone, and it finally hits her. The morning finds her still sitting on the porch, wrapped in a blanket, wondering how on earth she's going to face the day.
