In the late 1960s, television was starting to take off in Australia. On the airwaves were shows displaying the landscape of the United States and United Kingdom, albiet in black and white.
A handful of hopefuls looked at those shows, then at the Australian bush, and realised, "We can do that."
Since 1967, Skippy has spread her adventures around the world in brilliant colour, helping to bring tourism to Australia, and pride to the population.
Join Holly and Matthew for their first foray into the world of Australia's pop culture.
