Why Australians are addicted to family dramas‘, New Daily, 7 October 2015

Summaries of 40 years of the ‘most iconic’ Australian TV soap operas.

Perhaps this is because these shows provide a real sense of how Australian families see themselves. For a real cross-section of the classic Aussie family unit and everything they aspire to be, the Australian family drama provides a glorious slideshow of our nation throughout time.
