"Bartons on the Web" is an ode, a 'thank you' and a pedestal to the people that worked on and starred on one of the most underrated and often forgotten Australian children's drama series out there. Its goal is to give the show the love and attention it deserves, and aims to be the biggest resource on C/o The Bartons and all associated works available anywhere, online or offline.

… to Bartons on the Web! This is the only C/O The Bartons fansite in the world. Here, you can find out everything there is to know about the television series, the book and the film. We have backgrounds, interviews with cast and crew, trivia and more; it's all here!
Click on or touch the big yellow MENU button below the site's logo and have a look around. All content is free, no registration is required*.
A BIG thank you goes out to Olivia, who played Elly on the show; she told me a lot of things I didn't yet know, and also provided the majority of the information on this site! Look out for an interview with her soon.
An equally big thank you goes out to Jocelyn Moorhouse for agreeing to an interview! I'm still trying to wrap my head around getting to interview her and am very grateful for the opportunity!
On a final note before I let you dive in: if you'd like to get in touch with me, you can do so here. This site's mission and future plans combined with a site FAQ can be found right over here.
Enjoy yourself and let me know what's missing, wrong or (hopefully) very right!

*OK, if you REALLY want to, you can be "initiated" by taking a spin on the Hills hoist, answering questions about The Bartons, before I allow you in. Please use your own Hills hoist and send in pics as proof. =)
Update on pics, a slight redesign and a really cool gift from a cast member
(March 2021)
After talking to the ABC, I recently removed all the pics and videos that infringe their rights. As it looks now, those pics and clips will not make a return. The price attached to the licence agreement that ABC suggests, is rather steep for an individual and quite simply out of my reach.
I still feel sad about this; the trouble that (mainly) Olivia went through to get all the images scanned for the site and the contributions to the collection from fellow fans of the show meant that the site was quickly becoming a great source for Bartons images. I won't be able to include most of those images on BOTW anymore, as ABC holds the rights to most, but I did get legal advice to see what I can include. More on that in a future update.
(Slight) redesign to compensate
The hasty action to remove the infringing images left gaping holes in some of the pages where the (now empty) image containers were. Over the past few weeks I've redesiged those pages so that this no longer happens. In addition, I've decorated those same pages with colourful bubbles filled with bits of trivia. I know; it's not quite the same, but it does make the site look more attractive and fun than it did for the past month. If you still see some empty spaces, don't worry. I'm not quite done yet and I've skipped a few pages in that process because those pages will completely be redesigned in a (near) future update anyway.
Really cool gift
Earlier this month, I got an unexpected package from Australia. It was sent by one of the cast members and inside was one of the coolest gifts anyone has ever given me: two original Bartons scripts! One of them is a draft, with a few differences from the eventually aired version, which is very interesting! The other one is for one of my favourite episodes! So cool!
I'm currently looking into a way to include them on the site without stepping on ABC's toes again (and without getting the cast member in question into trouble).
Stay tuned!

An interview with the person we have to thank for it all: Jocelyn Moorhouse!
(October 2020)
Wow, I'm still trying to wrap my head around her saying "yes"… I'm so grateful that she did!
Jocelyn Moorhouse not only created our beloved Bartons, she also wrote and directed the short film, wrote five episodes of the series and the book.
So what better way to kick off the site than an interview with her?
You can jump straight to it by following this link. This and other interviews (there are more in the pipeline; stay tuned!) can be found under the Interviews section in the menu.

Royce Craven interview now up!
(October 2020)
Royce Craven is one of the composers and producers of the shows music. He was kind enough to let me interview him about his music, his time on the show and what he's been up to since then.
Did you know he built a plane? Or designs really cool software for music production using synthesizers? Well, I didn't, but what I do know he's (co-)responsible for that excellent music, which has been stuck in my head for 75% of my life now!
You can find the interview linked on the CREW page (in the SERIES section) or directly under the INTERVIEWS section in the menu.
Or you can click right here.
