Sylvania Waters (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sylvania Waters was an Australian reality television series which followed the lives of an Australian family. Though there had been previous documentary television series following the lives of real people and families (notably An American Family in 1973), Sylvania Waters seemed to start a new trend for this sort of programming. The show premiered on Australian television in 1992 and was co-produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The show documented the lives of Noeline Baker and Laurie Donaher in the Sydney waterside suburb of Sylvania Waters over a six-month period, emphasising the couple's newfound wealth and luxurious lifestyle as well as interpersonal conflicts.
