Covering the period from 1945 to 2008, this documentary series provides a fascinating portrait of the social changes in a wide variety of Australian locations and cultural groups. Each episode covers a different aspect of Australian life, namely childhood, home ownership, love, and faith. Alternating between background historical information and interviews with a wide variety of people, it both explains the social changes and brings them to life. I found many of the stories very moving, and the archival footage fascinating. The series should be of interest both to nostalgic Australians and to foreigners wanting to understand more about Australian culture.
