The Tarax Show was an early Australian children's TV program on GTV-9 in Melbourne running from 1957 to 1969.

Synopsis

Denzil Howson who was then Assistant Program Manager at GTV9, was asked by Norman Spencer to develop a daily children's program. A pilot of the show was kinescope recorded onto film. The program started on Melbourne's GTV-9 on 21 January 1957 (only two days after the official opening of GTV9), debuting from the Myer Emporium Lonsdale St store window, as the GTV9 studios in Bendigo Street, Richmond were still under construction.

Normally the program was produced from GTV-9, but some editions were taped at ATN-7 in Sydney to help build the audience there.
