At The Hip - A Show About The Big Dreams Of Albury-Wodonga

In the years before his dramatic dismissal in 1975, Gough Whitlam had a dream for Albury-Wodonga. He envisioned a national growth centre to rival Canberra, with a booming population of 300,000.

After months of interviewing dozens of locals they are ready to report back. At the Hip is a celebration of Albury-Wodonga, and the hopes and dreams of its people.
