"rpHE ROVERS," an Australian-made
series for children of all ages, has
many stars - including the spectacular
Pacific Lady, a 73ft. yacht, probably the
only yacht in the world with a cockatoo and
a wombat as crew members. Most of the
action is on or around the Lady, who
pitches and tosses her way round Broken
Bay and the Hawkesbury River from
Brooklyn, N.S.W. A simple adventure series,
"The Rovers" has guest stars and a cast
of continuing characters.
