After three decades in motor racing, no other Australian driver commands such broad public appeal as Peter Brock. Peter is an Australian motor sports phenomenon. Widely regarded as one of the most gifted drivers of his generation and an icon in Australian sports, he resisted going overseas to create a spectacularly successful careen in the one country he wished to call home. Peter's record-breaking achievements at Australia's premier race, the Bathurst 1000, are unlikely to be surpassed. Nine wins, seven poles and 12 podiums. Peter truly is "King Of The Mountain". Touring car racing has always been his passion, the ultimate challenge. Taking a car originally intended for road use and pushing to the absolute limit in competition. On bitumen or dirt, Brock has proved a master of the art and it's all detailed in this documentary.

Can't find what you are looking for? All you have to do is ask. Such advice is not so straightforward when you can't speak the language. By 1951, Australian postwar migration programmes were geared to receiving large numbers of non-British migrants. Considerable efforts were made to overcome prejudice on the part of the predominantly British-derived community towards the newcomers. Double Trouble was an attempt to make the point with humour. Bob and Stan, two Aussie blokes, are magically transported to the streets of a foreign country, where their inability to communicate gets them into a tight spot. They discover that it's not easy being a foreigner in a strange land. The central message in this film is that Australia needs migrants so Australians should make them feel welcome and offer assistance, not complaints.
