Australian Story - Season 1 Episode 11

The Surgeon's Story: From Hobart, Caroline Jones interviews Dr Bryan Walpole, the surgeon on duty in Hobart Hospital on the day of the Port Arthur murders. He reflects on that night, on the treatment of the victims and of the alleged perpetrator and how he reconciles all this with his personal philosophy. PLUS: Dingo Dash: Karen Howie has a passion for the sport of dog-sledding. Most people use huskies but Karen's approach has a particularly Australian touch – she uses dingoes. Rusty and Rascal do okay in the trials but when it comes to the big race only one of them makes it back by his own steam. PLUS: The Deep End: This is the story of Roy and Judy Holland and their back yard pool. Parents of former Olympian Steven Holland, Roy and Judy fostered their own swimming training school. The pool has played host to many champions including Steve Holland, Hayley Lewis and some young chap called Wally. Roy Holland always knew young Wally would not cut it as a swimmer.
