SUNDAY: My Place – Series 2 on ABC iView

Continuing on from where My Place - Series 1 left off, My Place - Series 2 takes us on a journey even further back in time.

Based on the Nadia Wheatley & Donna Rawlins picture book, My Place is the story of one spot in Australia, told by the children who lived there. In Series 2, we start in 1878, and continue back in time to an Australian landscape before European settlement. Each episode is set in the same place, with all the kids - regardless of the era in which they live - having a habit of getting into some sort of trouble!
