My Place(2009)

My Place is an Australian series that traces the history of a single house in south Sydney across more than 220 years through the eyes of the children who lived there. Beginning in 2008, each episode journeys backward in time, eventually reaching pre-1788. The narrative follows different children across generations, each with a gift for getting into mischief and a secret hiding spot beneath the same ancient fig tree. Their interconnected stories reveal how the house and the land itself witnessed the transformation of Australia, from Indigenous settlement through colonisation and beyond. A unique blend of history, mystery, and coming-of-age drama, My Place weaves personal tales with the broader arc of Australian identity.
