Australian film/tv recommendations please

[30birthdaygirl]

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations of Australian made films or tv series please, old or new, but particularly based in Melbourne so we can get more excited about our upcoming holiday!

Obviously I realise it might be tricky for me to access them, but don't let that stop you! I'll pull out all the stops to find them ☺️

Thanks!

I really enjoyed ‘Fisk’, a comedy series on Netflix about a woman who is a lawyer. I think it’s set in Melbourne. Similarly, Colin from Accounts.
More seriously are the Jack Irish series with Guy Pearce, about a former criminal lawyer turned debt collector. They are set mostly in Fitzroy in Melbourne. I lived in North Fitzroy for a while.

Off the top of my head, other films and series I’ve enjoyed:
Priscilla Queen of the Desert
Muriel’s Wedding
Mystery Road - crime series BBC 4

Mr inbetween on disney plus

This 100%

Thank you not heard of some of these!

I should probably say that I have obviously seen some already.

Film:
Muriel's Wedding
Priscilla
Strictly Ballroom
The Castle
The Wog Boy
Kangaroo
Crocodile Dundee 1/2
Looking for Alibrandi
In Her Skin/I Am You
Australia
Wolf Creek
The Australian Dream

TV:
Kath and Kim
Underbelly
The Traitors
Ambulance
The Tourist
Ten Pound Poms
High Country

All the soaps (obvs!)

Hammers Over The Anvil. It's a bit of a heartbreaker though.

Well I was going to say Kath and Kim because it is brilliant, but you have seen that.
Fisk is definitely on a par and you might see a familiar face (and bottom) too.

Older films
I love the film Malcolm. Storm Boy is also a lovely film

Offspring is an amazing TV show!
