Most Australian children's TV production is now based in Sydney and Melbourne, but it wasn't always so. Another city played a big part in sparking young imaginations.

The company produced Humphrey and other shows for Channel 9.

"I enjoyed being reacquainted with many of the songs of my childhood — and some of the songs we sang around the campfire when I was in the 1st Torrens Park Scout Troop," he said. "'Shooey, Shooey,' he almost shouted down the phone, 'There's this bloke singing a song about frogs or ducks or some s*** on some television program for children — seriously, he looks and sounds just like you!'"As well as Humphrey, Banksia Productions made a show called Guess What?, a game show in which children had to guess what a cartoonist was drawing to win.

The kids when they were little would watch 'Humpy Bear', kept them nice and quiet.

To the partners of volunteer firefighters, I see youIt’s likely that many people have said that your partner is amazing. What they haven’t told you, is that you’re also doing a great job. Uuuggghhhh..... Feminists are feeling left out considering 80% of volunteer fire fighters are men! Maybe more women should join up! ALWAYS feminist angle from the SMH. Megan step outside and see what women have built, repaired or maintained. Nothing almost. Women do useful and essential work but feminists do live in silos with no windows except the narcissist one.
