You'll find them across Australia - hidden in museums, libraries and people's homes - the national treasures that bring our history to life. National Treasures is a series of entertaining short films hosted by the irrepressible Warren Brown - political cartoonist, columnist, adventurer, history "tragic" and vintage car buff. In each instalment Warren, drawing pad in hand, takes a road-trip of discovery. Over 15 episodes he reveals the objects, bric-a-brac and "stuff" that were there when our history was made. Stalking public and private collections, he revels in details from experts and enthusiasts and shines a welcome spotlight on the sometimes forgotten gems that are an irreplaceable part of our national story. On its own, each treasure is a priceless snapshot of an historic moment. Together, they illustrate the vitality and uniqueness of the Australian experience.
