What happens

Australians (also known as Michael Willesee's Australians) is a thirteen part anthology documentary drama series which screened on the Seven Network in 1988. A lavishly illustrated spin-off coffee table book was released the same year. It was written by Roger McDonald and published Bantam Books. The series was not the idea of Willesee's, but his company, Transmedia was involved. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
