The Australia Game

29m • Game Show • 1978

A quiz show, a cultural mirror and a very Aussie sense of humour.

Content warning: NFSA archival content is provided in its original context and can contain language and/or actions that reflect the views of the period in which the material was produced.

Three finalists take to the stage for a quiz show like no other, where every question is about Australia, its history, its people and its quirks. THE AUSTRALIA GAME borrows the format of TV trivia and turns it into a lively meditation on national identity. There’s playfulness, yes, but also reflection: what do we think makes someone Australian? What facts do we value? A lively and humorous examination of national identity.
