Notes

  • Author's note: Much of the story telling will be visual or carried by the narrator, making it easier to re-voice the show into multiple Indigenous languages. The intention is that community members will be engaged and funded to re-voice the series. The production will assist in setting up this process. It is also intended that children whose first language is not English will watch it in both English and their own language at home and school. (Via Screen Australia)
