I grew up watching and loving this series when it aired in the 1980's. It was a great series with a who's who cast of Australian actors and performers.
As a product of its time there was probably little thought given to diversity. Going through the list of probably over a thousand acting credits it is hard to find a non-white and non-anglo/european actor or indeed character.
From my memories of watching this show I can't remember any aboriginal actors or characters either. There probably were some bit-parts.
Friends has often been criticised for its lack of diversity but this Australian production ranks alongside and not in a positive way.
