Update: Young in Australia

 

Another update of a Swedish SVT series. I found some episodes on YouTube. Pic above from ep 1 (clip title Young Australia - The Dead Centre (SVT 1986). The year was also unsure, now 1986 confirmed.

I have one more pic in the main entry from ep 2 (Life in Sidney) showing 3 kids sitting. There are some more at school, mainly older teens. I think, I haven't found the other 3 episodes.

Aka Young Australia,  Ung i Australien. Again directed by Eskil Garpebring.
