Ship to Shore is a 78 episode Australian children's television series devised by David Rapsey and written by Glenda Hambly, John Rapsey, Mary Morris, Everett de Roche, Jon Stephens and others. Series one was produced by David Rapsey and Barbi Taylor,series two and three by Barbi Taylor and Paul Barron, who was also the Excutive Producer of all three series. The show centered around the lives of a group of children living on Circe Island, off the coast of Perth, in Western Australia. Three series of the show were shot in 1992, 1993 and 1996. Each episode was 24 minutes long. The first series featured comedy episodes of the children outwitting adults, particularly Hermes Endakis, played by Greg Carroll. The lead roles among the children were played by Clinton Voss, Jodi Herbert, Cleonie Morgon-Wootton and Heath Miller. Later series continued the comic tradition of the first series but included stories with social and environmental issues, particularly in the second series where the children try to stop a big corporation from destroying their island. The series was filmed on location in Point Peron and Rockingham (Perth), with shots of Garden Island and the bridge to HMAS Stirling creating the feel of an island. Additional interior classroom filming was performed in Applecross Primary School, Applecross. The program was shown on the ABC and Channel 9 in Australia and on the YTV network in Canada. The series was also distributed internationally having been sold to Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Portugal, Latin America, The United Kingdom and The United States.
The show was produced by Barron Films Limited Production for Australia's ABC, Channel 9 and Ravensburger (Germany) with the support of the Film Finance Corporation of Australia and ScreenWest.
