These titles; John Macarthur, Peter Lalor, John Batman, Caroline Chisholm, William Light, C.Y. O'Connor, Paddy Hannan, Daisy Bates, Cobb and Co, Governor Macquarie, Sydney Harbour Bridge, John Flynn, are centred around the lives and achievements of some remarkable people in Australian history. Rather than a catalogue of facts the characters are presented as "whole" human beings with strengths and weaknesses.

This program aims to stimulate the student to develop concepts, interests, values, feelings and action patterns essential for modern society. Scripted and dramatised to maximise student interest and develop listening skills, the twelve titles in this program have playing times of approximately 22 minutes each, and were specifically designed to provide source material for Australian history studies.

The preparation work required of the teacher is minimal. Each title has a teacher's guide which lists objectives, rationale, teaching suggestions and vocabulary of difficult words and phrases. Included also is a student's listening-aid sheet and a post listening developmental work sheet. All back-up material can be accessed and printed from the audio CD from a Windows 95 or later computer.
