The series is accompanied by an interactive website for children that allows them to explore the house that is the series' main setting.[2] It won the 2010 Logie for Best Children's Program.

On 23 March 2010 Screen Australia announced they approved funding for a second series which will focus on the lives of children and their families from the time period of 1878 to before the White Settlement[3] Filming began on 21 September 2010 and the first of thirteen episodes began airing on 26 June 2011.[4]

Synopsis

My Place tells the story of one house in south Sydney as told by the generations of children who have lived there over a period of over 220 years. The series opens in 2008 and travels back to pre-1788. Each episode centres around a child with a talent for some kind of trouble, each hiding up the same old fig tree, each with a story to tell.[5]
