Kath & Kim and The Castle capture something different about who we are. Kath & Kim is suburban aspiration gone gloriously wrong: the Hills Hoist, the Fountain Gate food court, the velour tracksuit as haute couture. The Castle is quieter, a story about an ordinary family refusing to be pushed around, and why home means more than its market value. Both are funny, both are deeply Australian, and both make a tee that gets a reaction from anyone who grew up here.
Also worth a look: our Retro & Culture collection, the Australiana collection for classic Aussie slang, or the AFL collection if footy's more your thing.
