Positively Wilcannia, part 4: how The Wilcannia Mob took their river to the world.

The Wilcannia Mob's Down River gave us a unique view into life growing up in Wilcannia.

Band members, and the town, continue to see positive effects, fifteen years after it was first released.

This is the story of how five boys from Wilcannia introduced the world to Barkindji culture.

Positively Wilcannia, part 2: Mike and Timothy race to shake up Wilcannia.

Timothy and Mike compete in a race to shake as many Wilcannia hands as possible.

Along the way they gather a snapshot of the town; learn the Wilcannia shake, meet Barkindji elders and avoid dogs.

But when all shakes are counted, the fun comes to an end and the loser must face embarrassing consequences.

Positively Wilcannia, part 1: The Real Thing is helping put Wilcannia on the map.

Wilcannia locals are fighting for the town's reputation, despite numerous social challenges and a complicated relationship with the media.

But a recent BBC documentary has been a setback for the predominately Indigenous western NSW town.

The Real Thing travels to Barkindji country to help redress the balance by celebrating six positive stories.

Brad Guy went skydiving and his parachute failed.

Incredibly, he survived.

Although he recovered from the physical injuries, what followed almost flattened him.

Lizzy Gardiner's early life included minimal supervision, late nights at the Dubbo drive-in and a stint in Papua New Guinea.

Her unusual experiences made her a perfect fit for the turbulent film industry, where she won an Oscar for the costumes in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

But she never thought a bold decision to wear a dress made out of credit cards would be part of her legacy.

Hey, it's Mike and Timothy.

The car's fuelled up, the thermos is hot and there's lots of characters to meet.

But before we get stuck into season two, friend of the show has an important message.

Mark Colvin like you've never heard him.

In 1978 the ABC’s renegade youth broadcaster Double Jay premiered an audio experiment called, What's Rangoon to you is Grafton to me.

Almost 40 years later, we got back on the Pacific Highway to make a tribute to this landmark Australian radio road trip.

To cut a complicated story short, we roped highly respected, ABC icon, Mark Colvin into narrating the adventure.

Mark wholeheartedly supported our lofty ambitions and we're sharing it now in tribute to him.

Deni Gordon's long and varied career includes musical theatre, television and film.

While she no longer works in showbiz, an unlikely ten minute voice-over job in 1987 continues to blast out of Australian televisions.

Deni is the voice of the iconic Rage scream, but she thought her contribution was forgotten. Until now.
