- Fighting Back will bring you face-to-face with the unpleasant reality and disruptive consequences of a deeply disturbed young mind. A mind in adolescent turmoil; in rebellious conflict with society - unsure of it's direction, it's purpose, it's future. A destructive mind that wreaks havoc whichever way it turns. Young Paul Smith gives a remarkable performance as the trouble teen who finally gets peace in the relationship with his teacher. Great Australian film.

- Australia's sugar industry's been through some tough times in recent years. Growers have been battered by bad weather, low sugar levels, and even lower commodity prices. But perhaps the most serious challenge to this one billion (Australian) dollar export industry emerged about four years ago, when our biggest competitor, Brazil, developed a new improved brand of raw sugar. It immediately set new standards in quality and purity and threatened Queensland's position as preferred supplier in some of our premium markets.
- While much of the focus in the national action plan on salinity and water quality is likely to be on the Murray Darling system, the West Australian wheatbelt is slowly turning to salt. By the year 2050 a third of WA's bread basket or six million hectares, is likely to be affected by salinity. It's a desperate situation and in the past decade many farmers have taken desperate measures to solve it including deep drainage channels. But some drainage systems have caused as much trouble as they've fixed.
- Australia is responsible for about 40 per cent of the world's mineral sands mining. But with the traditional mining areas of Western Australia and Queensland beginning to reach maturity, the hunt is on for new sources of rutile, zircon and ilmenite. The new boom area is the Murray Basin, where mining companies are offering some communities affected by the drought a financial lifeline.

- Tom Critchley, the seaman who rescued Delie, arrives in Echuca on a paddle steamer he bought with his reward. It is the beginning for Delie of a remarkable ten years in her life.
- Delie quickly attracts the attention of the town gossips, living alone in a ladies boarding house. She is trying hard to ignore riverboat labourer Brenton Edwards who is working even harder to draw her attention.
- Tom finalises the deal which puts Delie and Teddy into partnership as the new owners of the Philadelphia before departing for a new ship sailing the high seas.
