Minnamurra is a 1989 Australian film about a feisty woman who lives on a country property. It is also known as Outback and Wrangler.
The plot appears to have been inspired by The Squatter's Daughter. David Stratton called it "almost The Man from Snowy River III in terms of plot and character".
Plot
Set in the early 1900s in outback Australia, Fahey plays the handsome, athletic businessman Ben Creed, who vies for the hand of an Australian rancher's daughter, Alice, played by Tushika Bergen. The plot revolves around rivalry with another suitor to whom she is initially attracted, the cattleman Jack, but also with a villainous creditor Allenby who is trying to secure the large Minamurra estate left to Alice after her father died. Saving her land, which is mortgaged to the hilt until Creed secretly takes on her debts and then falls into debt himself, involves driving 100 horses to a cargo ship for sale to Lord Kitchener to support the Boer War in South Africa. Ben and Jack are forced to collaborate to get the horses to the ship before it sails.
