Mary Beard investigates the ongoing history of creative connection and cultural exchange between Britain and Australia and asks what that relationship looks like today. Starting in London, Mary catches up with Australian musician and comedian Tim Minchin as he embarks upon a UK tour. Mary visits the National Museum of Australia's groundbreaking exhibition Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters which is currently installed in Plymouth on the south coast of the UK. She speaks to the exhibition's curator, Margo Neale, about how Songlines take visitors on a journey across the Australian desert, telling the foundation stories of the country's indigenous people through the work of their artists. And Mary talks to other creatives and leaders who have lived and worked both in Britain and in Australia, including the 27th Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard, actor Cate Blanchett and journalist Stan Grant.
