Tandarra was the follow-up Australian television series to Cash and Company (1975), set during the Victorian gold rush period of the 1850s. It was produced in 1976, consisted of 13 one hour episodes and was shown on the Seven Network.
Two of the originals characters from Cash and Company continued in Tandarra. These were Joe Brady (Gus Mercurio) and Jessica Johnson (Penne Hackforth-Jones). The other main character, introduced in the final episode of Cash and Company was Ryler (Gerard Kennedy). He had been a bounty hunter who was later convinced of Joe’s innocence and decided to join with him.
Tandarra was taken from the name of the homestead, owned by Jessica’s character, and the series primarily dealt with the adventures of running the large farming property. The original premise of the first series, namely that Joe and Sam Cash (Serge Lazareff) were fugitives from the law and were being assisted by Jessica was totally removed. No reference to the Sam Cash character was ever made in this series. The previous antagonist, the corrupt police trooper, Lieutenant Keogh (Bruce Kerr) only appeared in the first episode of Tandarra, and the character of Jessica’s servant, Annie (Anne Scott-Pendlebury) only appeared in the second.
