Appleton Ladies' Potato Race, The Broadcast Coup, A Vegemite Tales, TheAppleton Ladies' Potato Race, The
In the tidy town of Appleton, things are just so. Men are men, women are women, and vegetables are not cake . . . and thats the way its always been. That is, until prodigal daughter Penny returns from the big smoke to set up shop as the local GP. Penny was always something of an outsider. While she was off getting educated and travelling the world, the good folk of Appleton kept about their business living hard and working harder, and trying not to stuff things up too much before each years great event, the famous Appleton Potato Race. Penny never much cared about the potato race, but when she discovers that the mens prize is five times more than the womens, she suddenly does care. A lot. And shes determined to do something about it.

Top of PageVegemite Tales, The
Synopsis:
. . .They're impoverished, they're malnourished and they're a long way from home...but they're having a ball! A whimsical peek into the lives, loves and loathes of six Antipodeans and one crazy Italian who share a flat in London. This introspective tale is a must for anyone who is endeavoring to escape the reality of a home they sometimes wish they had never left - but most of the time are glad they did. You'll laugh and you'll cry. . .but that is most likely to be a totally unrelated mood swing brought on by excessive use of recreational substances.
