Now this should have been shown during retro month! 
I don't have pay TV but I'm quite sure it would be the same footage that was released on video at the time. It was originally called Australia Now in 1983 (I have a copy somewhere but can't find it now) and when it was re-done later it changed to Australia's Best - see cover below. It was also being used to promote Australian music overseas and I think it is the best Australian music doco that they did.
I found the other video release. It is the same footage.
Thanks Guru. Nicholas, I now have it on DVD!
