Tuesday 22 July 10.25am	01. Some Problems This program looks at the complex problems that the Snowy Mountains Hydro Electric Scheme created. By sending most of the water across the mountains to the dry interior, the previously fast flowing river and its associated biodiversity have been adversely affected. To bring the river back to full health is not a simple task as so many irrigators depend on the water that should flow down the river. The solutions will take time and money.
Tuesday 29 July 10.25am	02. Living in Country This program looks at how indigenous Australians lived before Europeans settled the land including some of the different tasks for male and female members of the clans, women and girls gathering plants, making flour to make cakes, gathering shellfish and cooking, men and boys hunting, making tools and even making a bark canoe.
Tuesday 5 August 10.25am	03. The Eora The program looks at some of the detail of life in the Eora nation. People of the Eora nation lived in the areas where white settlement in Australia began.
