1788: Waruwi
Waruwi is an Aboriginal girl looking after her Nana, while the rest of her extended family is away from camp. It’s just for a day, but what a day it turns out to be! First, there’s a huge, four-legged monster that even spooks Waruwi’s dingo, Lapa. Then, there’s a boy – a young soldier - banging loudly on a mysterious round thing (a drum, it turns out). And another soldier who makes agonised cries come out of a box with a handle (a hurdy-gurdy). And still more soldiers – ones that Waruwi’s Nana calls 'the walking grubs'. They’re looking for the four-legged monster, and their search is bringing them closer and closer to Waruwi’s camp and her annoying, adorable Nana. Outnumbered, Waruwi will have to use all of her wits to lead the soldiers away from her place.

SATURDAY: MY:24 – Series 1 on ABC iView


26 young people from around Australia tell their story about the day that changed their lives forever, and how the events of 24 hours can fundamentally change attitudes and aspirations.

In an upbeat, visual feast of social-media inspired storytelling, each 24 minute episode features two individual stories that are interwoven, with both participants taking us on a personal journey to relive their 'MY:24' event, and the transformational impact it’s had on their lives.

 

SUNDAY: Round The Twist – Series 1 on Netflix Australia


When the Twist kids – Pete, Linda and Bronson – and their Dad leave the city for a quiet life in the coastal town of Port Niranda, they get more than they bargained for.

The lighthouse the Twists have moved into is haunted, and Port Niranda is a town where the weird and unexpected regularly occurs.

Ghosts, vikings, magical underpants, runaway shadows… Round The Twist is an offbeat comedy series that will enchant the entire family.
