Chris Hammer recently logged onto ABC iview to watch the new suspenseful outback noir, Treasure & Dirt. Just like the rest of the audience, he had no idea how the six-part crime series would end. Unlike the rest of the audience, he wrote the book that the TV adaptation was based on. Hammer still can't quite comprehend it.    "It's a little bit unbelievable to see things you've imagined suddenly made real," he says. Book-to-screen adaptations are an Australian television industry mainstay. So, we asked Hammer to share what the process can really be like for the authors behind these stories. "Many authors get their books optioned for screen, but it's a very low percentage that get made," Hammer explains. "It can be quite a long process. You're never really sure [it will happen] until they start filming." Hammer knew he wouldn't "really" be involved from the outset; that's how he wanted it, even though the screenwriters weren't obliged to stick to the original story. The author went to the Treasure & Dirt set to watch filming one day — a process he describes as "absolutely fascinating" — and that was the extent of his involvement. The next he saw of the show was an early preview of the first two finished episodes. "I was really eager to get the rest, I streamed them on ABC iview as soon as I could," Hammer says. While the author believes his readers will be able to tell the series is based on the book, some storylines were cut from the show, with others changed and new ones added. Some of the changes are small, from gender swaps to characters that have been aged down. Then there are the big changes, including deaths that weren't in the book. Biggest of all? "The whole ending is quite different," Hammer says. "I thought I would be more protective and defensive, but I find that I'm not." The fact that people want to turn his stories into television still feels surreal.  "I really wanted another group of people to take my book and re-imagine it, create something different," Hammer says. "If they changed the book and ended up with a terrible result or something, obviously I'd be upset. "[However], there's a lot of police procedurals on television and I think Treasure & Dirt is very distinctive."

This month, Australian Story celebrated its 30th anniversary with a sold-out live event at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall. Hosted by presenter Leigh Sales and introduced by the Governor-General, the Honourable Sam Mostyn AC, the afternoon concert saw nine special guests take to the stage for interviews and musical performances. They included the show’s founding executive producer Deb Fleming, actor and producer Claudia Karvan, former Olympian Michael Klim, First Nations community leader Mechelle Turvey and performer Tim Minchin. More than 2000 dedicated Australian Story fans, many of whom told us they had been watching the show since day one, came together in the room along with ABC Chairman Kim Williams and many current and former staff to mark the milestone and celebrate the stories of extraordinary Australians featured across more than 1450 episodes. It was an exceptionally successful event that will be broadcast as a special 70-minute episode of Australian Story on Monday August 31.
