Whiplash

1 9 6 0 - 1 9 6 1 (Australia)
34 x 30 minute episodes

A Wild West style action series set in Australia in the 1850s. Peter Graves (of Mission Impossible) starred as stagecoach company owner Chris Cobb and the series featured his adventures in the constant struggle against outlaws and competitors during the country's formative years.

Anthony Wickert featured as his helper, Dan, while the bad guys in the series included George Wallace Jr and Chuck Faulkner (who had been Australia's first newsreader and weatherman back in 1956 for Channel 9).

As might be expected from an Aussie Western, there was not an Indian in sight!

TRIVIA NOTE : Peter Graves and James Arness (Marshall Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke) are brothers
