Hunter

Hunter was an educational Australian children's television series that aired in the late 1980s and early 1990s on the ABC. Twenty-four episodes were filmed and produced in Hobart, Tasmania, by ABC Hobart between 1985 and 1985, although the series was repeated often on ABC TV until 1992. It focused around a man, known as "Hunter", investigating, or "hunting" for information. His clothing was akin to an old English detective. Hunter's favoured mode of transport was a bicycle adorned with a bright small triangular flag at the end of a pole. He was played by Philip Sabine. His companions included "Computer Cat", represented by a puppet on the show, and a mouse, represented by a live mouse named Albert, which often ran around in the brim of his hat. He was also occasionally joined on his adventures by his niece Minnie. CC was made by Jennifer Davidson, founder of Terrapin Puppet Theatre, which is based in Hobart. The theme song to the show included the lyrics "What, why, where and when, that's Hunter!". The Hunter show was watched by many Australian school children, often as part of their school curriculum, at primary-school level.

Bushfires: Inside the Inferno

Nowhere else in the world is so regularly ravaged by infernos of the intensity, scale and destructive force of the Australian bushfire. As our population grows and spreads and as the effects of climate change are felt, the danger to loss of life and property escalates. What do we know about bushfires and how can we prevent their devastating consequences? Not surprisingly, Australia is a world leader in fire research and the complex and technologically sophisticated job of fire fighting and prevention. Inside The Inferno takes us into the terrifying heart of major fire events, unfolding the research that explains how fires start, grow and change; and how we predict them, prevent them, fight them and hopefully survive these violent natural disasters. Inside The Inferno explores not only the devastating mega fires such as Black Saturday in Victoria 2009 and the Canberra fires of 2003, but also major fire-fronts that received little attention.

Music for You

Music for You was an Australian television series. Little information is available on the series. It aired from 1958 to 1960 on Sydney station TCN-9, and starred pianist Isador Goodman. Aired on Sundays, the time-slot varied. In September 1958 the series aired at 4:30PM while by May 1960 it aired at 1:30PM. It was Goodman's second television series, following the 1956-1957 Melbourne series The Isador Goodman Show. Well known in Australia at the time, he was also heard on radio during the 1950s. Given the main performer and the title, it was most likely a music series. Although kinescope recording and later video-tape was available during the run of the series, it is not known if any such recordings were made or still exist today.

Yamba's Playtime

Yamba's Playtime is an Australian children's preschool television program, produced and broadcast by Imparja Television from 1995 and since 2010 has also been broadcast by Nine Network Australia. Each 30 minute episode of Yamba's Playtime follows the life of Yamba the Yerrampe and is the first indigenous themed preschool program to have received a "P" Classification. Yamba the Honeyant is from Central Australia, and has a best friend named Jacinta. They have many friends, but don't seem to know about the odd sock characters who appear on the show also. These characters are Chabba and Flopp, who live in the sock drawers. Yamba is very curious and loves to learn, is active and energetic, friendly and outgoing. Other characters on the show include Grandpa and Grandma Honeyant, Cecilina the Ballerina and Miss Honeypot. Every episode of Yamba’s Playtime is educational yet entertaining and reflects distinctive qualities that can only be found in the red centre of Australia. It appeals to an indigenous and non-indigenous preschool audience as proven by the high rating of viewers who tuned into Series 1 in January 2012. "What I love about Yamba’s Playtime, is that while it is primarily aimed at a young indigenous audience, with it’s energy, music, and sense of story fun it actually appeals to a much broader demographic. It’s enlightening on so many levels," said Cameron Clarke, former screenwriter of Hi 5.
