Campfire Favourites

Overview

Campfire Favourites was an Australian television series which aired in 1956 on Sydney station TCN-9. Despite having a very brief run of less than 2 months, it is notable as one of the earliest Australian-produced television series, and for featuring Frank Ifield. The series ended around the same time as two other early Australian series, The Johnny O'Connor Show and Accent on Strings, an article in Women's Weekly suggesting the three series were unable to obtain sponsors. Broadcast at 7:15PM on Thursdays, the 15-minute series was themed around country music. The set design was basic, consisting of a painted backdrop of Eucalyptus trees.
