We all remember 'Bambaloo', the quirky puppet show for kids back in the early 2000s. The fusion of puppetry and animation was cutting edge blah di blah. The show vanished without a trace after its run. Here’s what I found: Rumors say the puppeteers had a falling out with the …

Delving into the archives, I found references to 'Jungle Tales', a 1950s animated short series with uniquely Australian flora and fauna characters. References are scant, and no known copies exist. What's peculiar is the sudden halt in production and the lack of information post-1953. I suspect the animations may have …

y'all ever heard about the 'Mystery at Hanging Rock' director's cut with a supposedly super weird ending? some scenes got the axe before it aired and they're somewhere out there. like apparently it explained the disappearances with some kind of paranormal twist... or so the story goes. anyone know more …

hey folks, i just stumbled on this sub and it's like a godsend lol. so here's the thing, my dad always talked about this old crime mini-series called 'The Great Bookie Robbery' that aired in the 80s i believe? ive tried youtube and a bunch of other places, can't find …

In the Luna Park of old, beneath the Moon's gentle gaze,\nSilent films once danced, a flickering, ghostly ballet.\nThe laughter of children mingled with ocean sprays,\nAnd now, the lost images call to those who remember the day.\n\nOh silver screens, your whispers float across time's vast sea,\nTell us where you rest in …

Calling all collectors! I've been on the hunt for the original TV cut of 'Solar Blue', the classic Aussie teen drama about surfing prodigies. The DVD releases chopped out half the original music due to licensing issues, totally killing the vibe. I need the raw, unaltered soundtrack that came with …

Every now and then, my mind drifts back to the haunting melodies of the 'Forgotten Opera', staged in Sydney during the late '90s. It was a modern take on classic opera, with a soundtrack that could stir the soul. But it never got a CD release. No one seems to …

haha gotcha, admit it, u thought i had sumthin. naw but fr, what if the real lost media we're all searchin for, is just the endless hours we dropped into this rabbit hole? that time ain't coming back fellas, just like half these shows we yapping bout 😂

If anyone remembers this interstitial cartoon, here's how I explain it: I think it aired between commercial breaks. It was about Dinky Sinks (a schoolboy) who would often explain things that freaked him out in a stage setting. Then, a rope would appear featuring the thing he explained, giving him …

I used to watch it in the 90s when it aired as part of Agro's Cartoon Connection and then became a standalone TV series. The series followed a man (named Jack) who lived with his talking dog pal (a Caucasian Shepherd) named Wally. They went on adventures on the Big …

HELP a collector out! 'Soda Surge' was this bizarre, short-lived fizzy drink from the late 90s, and apparently, they had these limited edition cans with Aussie iconic landmarks on 'em. I have the Sydney Opera House and Uluru, but I'm missing the Great Barrier Reef one. Willing to trade or …

Hey guys, I'm kinda new around here but I've heard whispers about this legendary TV series called 'Sunken City' that supposedly aired for like 3 episodes in the late 80s. It was all about this dystopian Australia underwater or something. Sounds wild but I can't find any info online. Is …

Let's settle this once and for all. There's chatter about an 'uncut' version of 'Wolf Creek' that's supposedly far more intense than what we got. As far as my research shows, the one that hit the theaters is the director's true vision. Rumors of a more gruesome cut seem unfounded …

Man, I used to watch 'Johnson and Friends' every arvo as a kid. That accordion music still plays in my head rent free. Anybody know where the episodes are hiding? The ABC store doesn't have them anymore, and there's, like, no DVDs in sight. Help a 90s kid relive those …

You muppets still sulking over lost episodes of kids' shows? I've got the real controversial stuff. Found a VHS of 'Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos', you know, the one that got yanked off air mid-ep by Kerry Packer himself? It's as cringe and funny as you'd expect. Not sharing it though, …

I'm compiling a history of classic Aussie arcades and 'The Zone' in Sydney is one of the ones that barely anyone remembers. It was a short-lived arcade near Darling Harbour, and I'm struggling to find photos or brochures – any memorabilia would be amazing. I am particularly interested in the …

G'day mates, so hear me out – I vividly remember a Rugrats special where the gang went to Australia. It was all about Tommy and the gang meeting kangaroos and the episode had this sick didgeridoo music. Can't find it on any streaming service or even mentioned online. Am I …

ok so i remember maccas had these bomb transformers toys back in the 90s – they turned from like food items into robots. had a full set but mum chucked em years ago. any collectors got pics or know where i can get em? my nostalgia is hittin hard lads

Emu's Escape was this indie rock band from Sydney back in '07. They had a somewhat popular track, 'Flightless Beating', that used to play on Triple J. But you can't find their music ANYWHERE nowadays. I've got an itch for that one song and it's been a nightmare tracking it …

Wake In Fright is considered a masterpiece in Aussie cinema, but the original cut is like gold dust. For those in the know, much of the footage was considered lost until the 2009 restoration. However, true buffs like myself are convinced there's another cut, one that includes scenes that to …

Does ANYONE remember this gem? It was like a low-budget Aussie version of 'The Great British Bake Off' but with way more cheesy animal puns and contestants actually chucked a boomerang before their baking time started. It only aired like, one season (maybe two?) before it got nixed. Been trawling …

aight, there was this banger tune I remember from the early 2000s, pretty sure it was an Aussie garage band. The chorus went something like 'We're just riding those waves in the sun' and that's all I got, lol. It's been stuck in my head for WEEKS. Never made it …

I reckon these days kids will never know the taste of Polly Waffle or the original Milo bar. Can't find 'em anymore and it's a damn shame. Used to down those like there was no tomorrow. Is it just me or were sweets just better back in the day? RIP …

I'm on a hunt for this old cartoon that used to run on TV back in the 90s – 'The Outback Adventures of Ozzie & Friends'. It was this quirky animated series about a bunch of Aussie animals getting up to mischief and it vanished without a trace. No DVD …

Anyone else pump coins into 'Kangaroo Jack's Great Hop' back in the day? It was this platformer where you played as a kangaroo, collecting boomerangs and dodging dingos. I’ve been restoring old arcade machines and this one is next on my list but I can't find the cabinet or even …

Hey all, just stumbled upon this subreddit. So I remember this tech show 'Beyond 2000' that used to air back in the day. Haven’t seen it in years and kinda missing those old predictions about the future. Anyone got some tapes or links to episodes? Pref looking for the mid-90s …
