Children's fantasy drama / SF series about a trio of children who become caught up in an adventure linked to local sacred Aboriginal cave paintings about the "Wandjina" - the people from the sky.
The children see some strange things: One striking scene shows a mysterious hooded figure hunting kangaroos with a rod that strikes them down silently at a distance. The local Aborigines know about these people - they are the Wandjina, the people from the sky who visited long ago, in the Dreamtime. What becomes apparent is that not only are they real, they have not all left.
A suspenseful series with a satisfying conclusion.
The same behind the scenes people were responsible for 1965's serial "The Stranger".
NOTE: The Wandjina do exist in real Australian Aboriginal legends, and have since been featured in "Chariots of the Gods?" & many other books/shows.
