Australians!

H2O Just Add Water (TV Series 2006–2010). Australian series.
Series were broadcasted here later than 2010. I was too old already for the mermaid outfit 🧜♀️ but I liked to watch the series.

I’ve heard of the show but never watched it. I grew up with an Australian show called Fairies which was an interesting live action show from the late 90’s to late 00’s (wasn’t too fond of it). If anyone watched Fairies growing up, here’s a little fun fact: one of the original cast members in Fairies was the daughter of Peter Combe. Who’s that you wonder welll… ‘When Mr Clicketty Cane, plays his silly game All the kids in the street, they like to do the same. Wash your face in orange juice‘. Yep she the daughter of that guy lol.

Here her (the pink one) is in the original fairies:

She also appears in Humphrey B. Bear (It was one of the most successful and longest-running children's programs in Australia)

What about Hi-5? I remember watch that show (is australian too)

I was an absolute Hi-5 kid even have the first CD they released and the single version of the Christmas album with the original cast Charli, Nathan, Tim, Kellie and Kathleen. I used to blast both in the car and in my room when I was little. Though I grew up in the era of the 2nd cast I did have one dvd only featuring one episode of the 2nd cast.

God I remember Hi-5. Absolutely nothing sticks with me. All I remember is that they were loud, colorful and I was obsessed

My school didn't celebrate Naidoc week this year because it was in school break.

It’s different depending on what school you go to. My school did NAIDOC normally during this term or mid of last term. But this year they did it when they booted out all the seniors for school holidays on the last week of term 2. All of my primary schools did it, during the beginning of this term or three weeks before school holidays. But NAIDOC week actually starts during the school holidays. But most schools still honour it out of respect.

I thought Australian history is also about the native Australians, the Aboriginals. That seems to be much more difficult because of the lack of documentation in that time. Do you get educated in that?

When it comes to learning about Australian history we learn about how the British get here, gold rush or we learn about stereotypes and ww1 and 2. We don’t really get told about indigenous or Torres Strait culture unless it’s NAIDOC Week most times

We did something similar in history. We had to watch the 'football, meat pies, kangaroos and holden cars' ad and re-write it to make it accurate to 2025

Wow interesting.. I did this same topic as English back in film class last year as well. But it was mixed with one term of writing about a show scene in a tv show (camera angle, costumes and background). Thank god that was only a paragraph and more relax in writing compared to English which is 5 paragraphs and one paragraph structure in the conclusion about 3 scenes in ‘Red dog’. Then the next term was creating a film/short video about the Australian identity. Which I did was put funny Steve Irwin clips together to make a story about his day at the zoo kind of like a YTP style. I still have the original video somewhere and wanted to share it YT after I got an A on it but I ended up not (normally video making in film means you find a group choose one script film and edited it). But since my group was dog ….! The teacher let me make a YTP type of video because they haven’t started and only me and my friend got marked on the YTP video even though I was the only one who made the video

Haha! Very funny guys. There is a movie based on Australia called ‘Red Dog’ it’s about Australian stereotype’s in the 1970’s in the regional town of WA. It has a dog named Red Dog and a community of men who work for the mines. I’m doing this for English this term because the topic was Australian identity in films and commercials (for example culture, music and hobbies).

I still have to smile at the picture...because of the aggressive kangaroos alone, I have no desire to go there... （>﹏<）

Yes. We're a bunch of fearful fools. That probably comes from the scary images we sometimes see on TV or in movies. We live in a part of the world without immediate danger, so we're not used to it. This image is also a good example of our exaggerated fear. Kept it in my Australia folder for years.

Australia for tourists 😄
