The Bligh family consists of Elizabeth (Noni Hazlehurst), a formidable matriarch, her son George (Brett Climo), his wife Regina (Jenni Baird), and their daughter Anna (Abby Earl).

In addition to the Blighs, the show features several other prominent characters, including Sarah's boss, the charismatic Dr. Jack Duncan (Craig Hall), and the town's priest, Father Abbot (David Berry). Each character has their own story to tell and their own struggles to overcome. As the series progresses, the characters evolve and grow, undergoing personal transformations that are both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Their journey is accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack and stunning visuals of the Australian countryside. Overall, A Place to Call Home is a captivating and emotional journey that captures the essence of the 1950s in Australia. The show is well-written, well-acted, and beautifully shot.
