Love o' Land is a 1934 Australian radio play by Edmund Barclay. It was described as a "cavalcade of Australian history" and involved a family whose adventures coincided with ten scenes in Australian history from 1788 onwards.[2]
The play was a forerunner to Barclay's later serial about Australian history, As Ye Sow.[3]
The original production aired on Australia Day 1934 and was described as "one of the most ambitious and successful experiments in radio technique ever broadcast in Australia."[4]
It was performed again by the ABC on 27 January 1935.[5]
