Top End Bub revisits Lauren, a dynamic Indigenous lawyer pursuing life goals in Adelaide. She is married to Ned, a handsome husband who makes fresh croissants. What else could a person need? After Lauren’s eight-year-old niece is orphaned, the series follows the couple as they reluctantly give up their big city goals and move to the Top End (where the outback meets the tropics) to raise the child.
