The Man from Snowy River is an Australian adventure drama television series based on Banjo Paterson's poem "The Man from Snowy River". Released in Australia as Banjo Paterson's The Man from Snowy River, the series was subsequently released in both the United States and the United Kingdom as Snowy River: The McGregor Saga.
The series follows the adventures of Matt McGregor (Andrew Clarke), a successful Australian rancher, and his family. Matt is the hero immortalized in Banjo Paterson's poem "The Man from Snowy River", and the series is set 25 years after his famous ride. Patterson's poem was also the basis for two films The Man from Snowy River, and The Man from Snowy River II.
