Ship to Shore

I loved this show when I was growing up. I was around the same age age the gang when they first showed it, and watching this show was like being on an endless holiday. Looking back at it, Ralph was a total goose, but I liked him anyway. Kelvin was...well everyone's got a "Kelvin" living down the road, a red-haired loser that wears flannos and no one likes. Julie was pretty hot. Babe was kind of annoying.

But then there's HERMES! Hermes is the greatest Australian television star ever. He's better than Nudge and "The Fat Kid" from Hey Dad put together. He's cooler than that Gothic Edward character from Home and Away. He was really Australia's answer to The Fonz, only cooler and fatter. If I was that teacher, I'd be giving Hermes herpes.

But of course they had to make some more series didn't they? Season two was kinda cool but lost the whole 'adventure' thing and turned into a show about fighting big business (can anyone explain why they wanted to build an Olympic pool on Circe Island? There's 25 people there and they're all too poor to afford the entry fee. And you just know that Kelvin would urinate in it). And the third series? Geraldine as the main character? No Ralph? A race horse being trained on the island??!! It sucked.

More shows like this please Mr Australian TV. Less of those crappy shows that are half Aussie, half Irish or whatever.

And BRING BACK HERMES!!!!!

This show is awesome. and was filmed 2 mins away from where i live at the beach shacks near shoalwater/point peron. i walk around that area and theres many recognisable places. the show is set on a island although it is not a island, there is a navy base island called garden island where they use the shots of the bridge. very cool to watch and recognise the beach shacks and beach landmarks. the houses still stand today and people live there or use as holiday homes. location. point peron.

Circe Island is a unique treasured piece of Australia(I think it's off the coast of Perth). Full of adventure and fun all over. The show is about the islands occupants, a gang of kids who get into all sorts of mischief to compensate for their boring lives on Circe Island. This was the best show to grow up watching. Being very adventurous as I was this was the show for me. The island had everything and I was very envious of the kids to have such a beautiful island to live on(even though they didn't appreciate it that much).
