A female doctor, Kate Munro moves to (fictitious) Gannet Island off the South Australian coast in 1927. Conflict between traditional religious values and modern scientific medicine ensues as she forms a relationship with two men who are brothers, one a grazier and one a priest.
Shadows of the Heart was shot between 22 January and 17 March 1990 on Kangaroo Island,[2] and in the old butter factory at Milang, both in the state of South Australia.[3] Joy Seager died in 1991.[1]
The series was nominated in the Best Miniseries or Telefeature category in the 1991 Australian Film Institute Awards, and Josephine Byrnes was nominated for Best Lead Actress in a Television Drama.[4]
