The Colony<br />
Australia’s first living <strong>history</strong> series is a blend of<br />
historical discovery, social jeopardy, adventure<br />
challenge and experiential learning as pampered 21st<br />
Century ‘pioneers’ attempt to prove they’re tough<br />
enough to survive their historical ordeal. Against this<br />
backdrop, the series explores the gripping story of the<br />
first settlements’ brutal, often bloody conflict between races (Aboriginal,<br />
Irish and English), classes (convicts, free settlers and military) and men<br />
and women. A British and and Irish family are shipped to the far side<br />
of the world to join an <strong>Australian</strong> family. They enter an isolated world,<br />
cut off from civilsation in almost every respect. They have to cope with<br />
the lack of creature comforts as well as the gruelling chores of daily<br />
life. How did the three European families, their volunteer convicts and<br />
Aboriginal people come together to face the challenges of early European<br />
settlement on the frontier?<br />

The Habits of New Norcia<br />
The Benedictine Monastery of New Norcia, the only<br />
monastic town in Australia, was until 1973 New Norcia<br />
Mission, home to generations of Aboriginal children.<br />
It was an orphanage without orphans, as none of the<br />
children were there because they had no parents. The<br />
children suffered terrible hardships; used as child<br />
labourers, starvation forced them to eat the food set aside for the<br />
chickens, and cruel punishments were part of their daily existence.<br />
Several of the children, now adults aged from 34 to 84, return to the<br />
mission to recount their version of their <strong>history</strong> on display. Today the<br />
Monastery at New Norica presents itself as a popular tourist attraction.<br />
