Miriam Margolyes embarks on a journey Down Under to explore the unique Australian ethos of 'the Fair Go', a core value that promotes opportunity for all regardless of background or wealth, and how it plays out in the lives of her fellow citizens. Miriam begins her Australian adventure in the former penal settlement of Lutruwita, Tasmania, questioning how a Fair Go could have begun in a place like this. As she makes her way from north to south, she is confronted with the complexities of Tasmania's rich history, and meets those still fighting for a Fair Go
