SeaChange was a popular Australian television show that ran for 39 episodes from 1998 to 2000 on the ABC. It was created by Andrew Knight and Deborah Cox and starred Sigrid Thornton, David Wenham, William McInnes, John Howard, Tom Long, and Kerry Armstrong. The director was Michael Carson.
Filming was based at Barwon Heads, Victoria and St Leonards, Victoria, both locations being on the Bellarine Peninsula. A number of streets in the St Leonards Sea Change Estate have since been named to acknowledge some of the characters of the series. Many scenes were also filmed in Williamstown (a suburb of Melbourne), including the exterior of the Williamstown Life Saving Club, which became the court house of Pearl Bay.

In alphabetical order:
Laura Gibson (Sigrid Thornton), a high-flying city lawyer is prompted to undergo a 'Seachange' and move to the small coastal town of Pearl Bay where she becomes the magistrate after her husband is arrested for fraud charges and is discovered after having an affair with Laura's sister Trudy. Rupert and Miranda are Laura's two children, they come with Laura to Pearl Bay to start afresh. Although they initially miss their father they come to love the town and its people and get more quality time with their mother. Pearl Bay, a town with many colourful characters in its midst is isolated from the rest of the world after the bridge connecting Pearl Bay to Port Deakin was destroyed in a natural disaster (such disasters are commonplace in Pearl Bay).
Bob Jelly (John Howard) is the Mayor of this town and he perceived throughout the town as slimy. He is also the owner of the town's real estate agency and he only thinks of himself. His sneaky, and often illegal business deals, always backfire.
