Zaterdag 20 mei is het de beurt aan Jack van Oers om dit programma te verzorgen. Tussen 4 en 7 hoor je de Australische nummer 1 hits uit het begin van de jaren 60.
Met hoofdrollen voor de Australische zanger Johnny O’Keefe, de koning van de rock en roll Elvis Presley en diverse instrumentale hits van diverse pluimage.
Buiten de muziek wordt een stukje geschiedenis verteld van Australië. Met info over Aboriginals, kangoeroes, de ontdekkingsreizen van Europeanen en nog veel meer.
