1 form y separately published work icon Babakiueria Geoffrey Atherden , ( dir. Don Featherstone ) Sydney : ABC Television , 1986 Z1895714 1986 single work film/TV satire

In 1788, the first white settlers arrived in Botany Bay to begin the process of white colonisation of Australia. But in Babakiueria, the roles are reversed in a delightful and light-hearted look at colonisation of a different kind. This satirical examination of black-white relations in Australia is the story of the fictitious land of Babakiueria, where white people are the minority and must obey black laws. (Source: Trove)
