1. The program premiered in February 1968. Series 2 commenced production in April 1968 and went to air that November. The third series began production in April 1969 and went to air in October. Production ceased in September 1969.

2. Don Storey's Classic Australian Television website (see below) notes that there are quite a number of irregularities in the series' official running order. He sites a number of officially listed episodes in which non-regular characters appear only to be introduced in later episodes as if for the first time. Storey further notes that airdate order is not a reliable alternative, 'as the series was screened in a completely different sequence everywhere it was shown.' With no other basis to go on, the site provides an episode listing in the order that makes most sense regarding character introduction and development. Other clues include changes in the opening and closing credits (e.g., early episodes did not feature episode titles, later episodes included a graphic of the NSW Parks and Wildlife Service). When no other clues are available to determine the correct sequence, the 'official' order has been reverted to. For comparative purposes, the site provides a listing of both the official and revised episode running order.
