Australia: The Story of Us

New Frontiers

As we journey through 1975-2015, Elaine Moir helps save babies from the Vietnam War. Paul Hogan becomes our best export and the Sydney Olympic Games creates moments of national pride.

Post War Australia rebuilds and re-brands. For the first time in decades, a generation is free from economic depression and conflict. The result? Rebellion sweeps the suburbs and the beaches. Rock'n'roll rebel Desmond Duke takes on the Queensland cops; surfer Midget Farrelly the Surf Life Saving establishment and the best surfers in the world. They are among the leaders of the baby boomers' transformation of the nation. John Singleton confronts cultural cringe head on and celebrates the Larrikin - to great effect and profit. For the first time, all Australia embraces Indigenous heroes like Evonne Goolagong. And a force of nature shakes Australia to its core - but inspires Dr Ella Stack to begin a transformation of how will live on the apocalyptic continent.

Frances Daingangan is a 45-year old mother of three who comes from the remote community of Ramingining in North East Arnhem land. Like many young girls, Frances dreamed of being a movie star - a dream that came true when Rolf de Heer cast her in the lead female role of Nowalingu in Ten Canoes. Her journey from traditional tribal life to red carpets and awards ceremonies is unlike any other.
