Lusty sheep farmers and their sensible wives, brainy engineers and
over-dressed girls on the make - the whole district loves the
parties Helen Bailey throws at Cotamundra station each Saturday.
And everyone loves Helen Bailey - everyone, that is, except her
husband Walter, who sits alone in the Australian heat, polishing
his gun. For Helen, destiny seems to hold only embittered passion,
desperate infertility and a lifetime of endless, boring tea
parties. But this particular Saturday a young stranger comes to
play tennis. And within the space of a single day, the lives and
loves of all at the station are altered forever. A poignant
portrait of a troubled marriage and a comic and loving evocation of
life in the Australian Bush, All Day Saturday is a heady,
atmospheric drama, where the fates of many are decreed in one day.
