Shirl!
etta Palmer shared a photo on Pinterest; "Shirl's neighborhood – A blast from the past".
Shirl's Neighbourhood was a children's TV show on Channel 7 between 1979 and 1983. It was a half-hour program and featured former Skyhooks front man Graeme "Shirley" Strachan and co-host Liz Rule alongside a cast of characters including Norm The Kangaroo, Ol' Possum, Claude The Crow, Stanley The Snake, Greenfinger the Garden Gnome, Yippee the Bunyip, Bartholomew the Sheep, a band of monkeys and "Professor Henri".
The show was very popular with kids but many adults liked it too because of the character Claude the Crow. Claude had a slightly more cynical view of the world than the other characters, and adults could identify with his humour which was very sarcastic.
Graham sadly died in August 2001 in a self-piloted helicopter accident.
He was the best! A very loveable larrikin!
