New to the ACTF Shop: Thalu and Are You Tougher Than Your Ancestors?

The latest additions to the ACTF Shop include a fantasy series in which a group of Indigenous kids attempt to save their country from a mysterious dust cloud, and a living history series that pits kids against extraordinary children from the past.

In live-action series Thalu, a group of children undertake a quest to reach the ‘Thalu’, a place of great power. They are attempting to stop a huge dust cloud - and the Takers that lurk within it - before it destroys everything in its path. Along the way, they encounter friends and foe alike as they search for eight sacred stones and a special key that will unlock the power of the Thalu and, they hope, stop the Takers in their tracks.

In the fun and immersive living history series Are You Tougher than Your Ancestors?, modern day children attempt to match the impressive feats of children from Australia’s past. Diving into new worlds, they learn as much about themselves as they do about history… and unearth some unexpected skills in the process!

Both new release series are now available to purchase as digital downloads in the ACTF Shop. The education license provided with our once-off digital downloads means that:
