DVD Review: Seven Little Australians
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

Classic television mini series.



It is thirty years since Seven Little Australians first appeared on Australian television screens. Now it is avaialable on DVD and Video for the first time.

This classic mini-series will be remembered by parents and the best selling novel on which it is based has been loved by Australian children for over 100 years.

Parents will enjoy sharing this offering with their children and, while it may be a little dated, children will soon forgive that as they get absorbed in the story.

The film has been restored by the Nation Archives and the DVD version features a a 10 minute feature story from ABC TV's Weekend Magazine program, a Photo Gallery and an audio recording of author Ethel Turner's last speech.

This would be a lovely addition to any family's DVD collection.
