Thought i'd do a topic about an Australian piece of lost media for a change, found out about this show when a friend of mine asked me to get it for him from TV Vault.
Secret Valley was an Australian children's television adventure series from 1980 made by the Grundy Organisation and first shown on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Plot:
Secret Valley was a fictitious children's holiday camp in Bildarra which had been transformed from a run down ghost town into a resort. The children who worked and visited the camp often found themselves in battle against a gang of bad kids – Spider McGlurk and his gang from "Spider Cave". These battles usually featured flour bombs and other food related missiles and everyone inevitably ended up in a big mess.
Spider McGlurk and his gang were not the biggest threat to the peace at Secret Valley. Secret Valley was also under threat of closure by the local council, and property developer William Whopper (also known as 'WW') played by Hugh Keays-Byrne.
Here's the page on it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Valley
These are the episodes currently missing in English(though I believe they are all available in foreign dubs):
6. The ghost of Secret Valley
8. The monster
9. The marvelous magnetising machine
10. The runaway
13. Spanish gold
19. A sticky situation
22. The pony express
25. The secret valley goes to town
Also the version of episode 11 "Double Trouble" that's currently floating around is missing the opening credits so a complete version of that one would be nice as well.
Here's the theme:
