| Summary |
Boomtown is one of the most isolated places on the planet and it's a double-edged sword. Isolation breeds innovation, but it also means a lot of travel. Nobel Laureate Barry Marshall is in demand. His Nobel-winning discovery that ulcers are caused by bacteria means he balances his globetrotting Nobel duties with his continuing research. Barry must also find time for the business that distributes his vital diagnostic tools that help save lives around the world.With the need to expand his business, iiNet founder Michael Malone is focusing on his company's move into the development of high tech hardware. iiNet's launch will demonstrate how the Internet can be used for home automation and energy management. But there is a problem, their flagship product is behind schedule and Senator Conroy is flying in to open the store.Iconic fashion designer Ruth Tarvydas is an institution in Boomtown, opening Perth's 1st boutique in the 1970s. Her store is on Perth's exclusive King St, which attracts some of the highest rents in the world. Under pressure to keep the cash rolling in, Ruth's strategy is to go global and launch her brand during New York Fashion Week. She designs a new collection and plans to use cutting edge online sales technology to sell her gowns to customers. PRODUCTION DETAILS:Electric Pictures, Series producer Roz Silvestrin, Executive Producer Andrew Ogilvie. ABC Commissioning Editor Anita Brown |
