Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery: Ray Martin, Marcia Hines and Stephen Page (S9EP1 ABC TV Sunday 19 June 2022)
One of the country’s most recognisable faces, journalist Ray Martin delights in taking Julia back to his humble beginnings.
Driving in a stunning white Citroen Light 15, their first stop is a roadside at Sutherland, where primary school aged Ray waited 5 hours in the searing sun to see the Queen drive by.
He then drives Julia to his former housing commission home in Jannali, in the south of Sydney, a three-bedroom fibro dwelling that was a castle for young Ray and his three older sisters. It’s here that the veteran of Australian TV recalls his nomadic childhood, living in 13 different towns before the age of nine.
Next it’s off to Launceston, Tasmania, the sanctuary where Ray and his mother fled to escape his abusive father. Ray tells Julia how it was in Launceston where he was able to make a life for himself, excelling in sport, finding friends and experiencing a sense of stability for the first time in his life.
It’s a city Ray loves, and he takes Julia on a tour. They visit the selective Launceston College where Ray experienced his first taste of journalism as editor of the school newspaper.
After a quick stop at the historic North Tasmania Cricket Ground, the journey ends at Launceston’s natural wonder, the beautiful Cataract Gorge, where Ray reflects on his career, his loves and his fortunate life.
