Miriam Margolyes is back on the road, heading west along the bottom of Australia, to understand what the Fair Go means in Australia today and how it is playing out in the diverse lives of her fellow citizens.
As an 80-year-old woman, Miriam has never felt more vulnerable. And her own situation has left her concerned about the Fair Go for the most vulnerable in society today.
On this last leg of her journey, Miriam travels through the state of South Australia. Along the way, she tackles ageism, experiences an eye-opening stay at a nudist camp, and discovers vulnerable individuals and communities whose lives still hang in the balance.
