The second of three serials starring David, Dawn, and radio personality George Edwards.
David and Dawn with George Edwards under the Southern Cross appears to have begun airing in mid-October 1936, immediately after the succession of its predecessor, David and Dawn with George Edwards in Fairyland, and to have ceased in September 1937, when it was followed by David and Dawn with George Edwards and the Sea Fairies.
