Siblings Michael and Alice investigate a mystery: a vintage Australian television show called Back of Bourke that many remember, but no one can prove existed. With only a VHS tape containing the show's opening sequence and fragmented childhood memories, they dive into online forums, cryptic web archives, and testimonies from amnesiac fans. Join as they search for evidence of their great aunt's involvement with the show, uncover threatening emails, and a spooky conspiracy that seems to reach from the outback town of Bourke. https://www.3pwidget.com/backofbourke bob@3pwidget.com
