Inside Australia: Four Acres and a Piece of Carpet

on BBC Two England

A series in which Australians look at themselves and their rapidly changing continent.

Paddy Newey, an English Immigrant of two years' standing, is production planning manager in the dockyard at Newcastle, seventy-five miles north of Sydney, and has already established his family on a four-acre estate.
Frank McCormick is a crane driver who believes in home comforts at work: he has wall-to-wall fitted carpet in his cabin. Management and workers do not always see eye to eye, but they are closer together in the social scale than they would be in England.
