Blue Heelers

With one of their own gone, the police are in shock and everyone handles it differently. Then the wife turns up and a police funeral is out of the question, which makes the grieving process worse for the Mount Thomas police force. The discovery of a stolen watch among Wayne's possessions forces the Heelers to clear their dead colleague's name.

Stories of fathers, daughters, and family. As Maggie turns 25, the whole Doyle family turns up to celebrate. Meanwhile, a local drug problem will spill over that no one sees coming. And Tom is in for a surprise.

Stories of two cars, two babies and Gary, who wants to join the police force but is sent away by Inspector Faulkner, who doesn't understand the needs of country policing and fills in for Tom when he is sent away for training, leaving the station understaffed. Things go from bad to worse - the computer system goes down, an old man goes missing, and a car is stolen with a sleeping baby inside.

Wayne's replacement finally arrives in Mt Thomas, just in time to help the Heelers deal with a rodeo cowboy who seems to be sending his young son out to steal for him. Tom anxiously awaits the birth of his first grandchild.

The spate of burglaries take a sinister turn as the wife of an ex-police sergeant is assaulted badly and PJ and Jack Woodley are at odds over how to handle this case of an elderly police widow.

When a shearing competition goes horribly wrong, PJ starts his own investigation and his results lead him to the conclusion that his new partner, Jack, planted evidence. Meanwhile, someone is watering the alcohol bottles at the pub and Tom is pushing Anna to name her baby.
