 		Fat Cow Motel - Australian TV-based possible ARG
http://www.fatcowmotel.com.au/

I'm not too sure what it is myself yet, but the television commercials are shaping it up to be a sort of "viewer interactive" television show, possibly with phone polls/SMS messages made during screening of each episode to affect the outcome.

Not sure how much the website fits into it all, but thought you guys might find it interesting.

Fellow Aussie ARGnauts (a phrase of my invention, I like it) can watch the show on ABC (channel 2) when it starts up (Not sure when, maybe next month sometime, or later in year?). I'll keep you posted as new info comes to hand.

 		I'm pretty sure it's not "reality" based, it's completely fiction, just interactive.
Then again, I could be proven completely wrong once the show actually *starts*!

 		I think ABC in the sense it was used refers to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation ....and not the American ABC.

 		Pale Figure,
Push was fiction, you can read about the game and how it progressed in the archives, I recomend the first threads, hopefuly your show doesn't make the same mistakes...

Exactly right. Sorry, I should have been clearer about that, but I did say in the subject that it was Australian.
And I, too, am crossing my fingers that it won't be another Push. For a start, the ABC can't afford that kind of money!

 		Rats....


Finally an ARG set/based in Australia, and it is on the one TV channel that I cannot get!!!

For some reason, I can tune into every channel (including community ones) except the ABC!!!!
