Idealised story with lots of inaccuracies

Idealised story with lots of inaccuracies! While this story was enjoyable, there were so many inaccuracies. Married women in Aus weren't allowed to work until 1966, yet Annie who is married, works in a department store... the sexism of Australians is still off the charts to this day, and this series portrayed them as more progressive than they are even now! While by this point English people would have been less racist than the Australians, I can't imagine a black baby being born out of wedlock being given back to the mother so easily. Australia was stealing black kids from their parents until the late 60s - I am not convinced that an engagement would stop this kid being taken away.
