ABC debuts its new children’s series, Adventure Island, starring Nancy Cato, Liz Harris, Ernie Bourne, Brian Crossley, Marion Edward and Colin McEwen. The series continued through to 1972 and in re-runs for a few more years, though the advent of colour television in 1975 saw Adventure Island — produced in black and white — lose favour with programmers.

Meanwhile, ATV0 re-launches a half-hour news bulletin. The channel had abandoned the traditional news bulletin format in 1965 in favour of five-minute updates presented through the afternoon and evening.
