Hart of the Territory is a 1951 Australian radio serial by Anthony Scott Veitch and produced by Colin Cragin. It was set in the Northern Territory. Sydney John Kay wrote the music.[1] Extensive research went into the scripts.[2]
The show aired Monday to Thursday nights with episodes going for fifteen minutes.[3]
The Adelaide Mail said "the virility of Hart of the Territory is a welcome change after a surfeit of soap operas."[5]
The Daily Telegraph said "The script is so admirably laconic, and the acting held in such restraint; that the story concerning enemy spies in the Rum Jungle – becomes
mighty convincing."[6]
