Weird, Melbourne, Australian Stories.. Where can I find them?

Asked by ththththth (241points) January 17th, 2012

I am looking for ideas for creative ventures and caricatures for acting and presenting purposes. Having tried Google, Facebook, Yahho7, Other social networking sites and places like News.com and blogs like Tumblr I am looking for specific links to fascinating weird or funny stories that are current.

Not Melbourne specifically but you could watch Australian Story. It is an ABC production and covers a whole range of real stories about Australians and their lives.

Also, The Moment Behind the Photo

A series of ABC projects where people tell their own stories.

There was another series but I can’t remember what it’s called. If I remember, I will post it.
There are bound to be some Melbourne stories in those links. You might have to do a bit of hunting though.

If I notice anything else I think might work, I will post. Can’t think of anything off the top of my head. I do remember seeing these short pieces on the ABC. They were recorded by ordinary people. It was something like ‘tell us your story’. I couldn’t find a link to it though. Again, will post the info if I come across it.

Hi @ththththth I just saw one of those “What’s my story” things on the ABC. I think they are drawn from the ABC Open site. I didn’t post this before but that site has a regional section so you might find more ideas here.
