"Cultural ambassador" Lynn of Tawa — she of mangled vowel fame — explores the Australian outback in this travel slash comedy show. Alongside experiencing the vast, red heart of Australia, Lynn (played by Ginette McDonald) chats to correspondence school teachers, eccentric camel drivers and busloads of tourists taking in Uluru (Ayers Rock) at sunset. It's not all comic banter; McDonald hears first hand from her host Alec Ross about the deep grief felt by the stolen generation of Aboriginal children. McDonald's brother Michael — who helped craft the Lynn character years before — directs and co-writes.
