Elly & Jools is an exciting Australian TV show made for kids. It first aired in 1990 on the Nine Network. The show is about a special friendship between a boy named Jools and a ghost girl named Elly.
Rebecca Smart plays Elly, and Clayton Williamson plays Jools. Other actors like Anne Tenney and Damon Herriman are also in the show.
The series was filmed in beautiful places. These include Peninsula House in Windsor, New South Wales. It was also filmed at the Australiana Pioneer Village in Wilberforce.

What's the Story?
The story of Elly & Jools begins when the Trevaller family moves. They leave the big city for a new house in a small country town. This town is called Waterloo Creek. It is full of interesting and unique people.
The house the Trevaller family moves into has a secret. It is haunted by the ghost of a young girl named Elly. Elly quickly becomes friends with Jools, the Trevaller's son.
Solving the Mystery
Jools tries to help Elly solve the mystery of her past. She is a ghost and doesn't know why she is still in the house. In the very last episode, the truth is finally revealed.
It turns out Elly was not murdered. She had actually died in a sad accident. Elly stayed as a ghost to help clear the name of a man. This man was wrongly suspected of causing her death.
Finding Peace
Once the truth is known, Elly finds peace. She is finally able to move on to the afterlife. There, she is reunited with her loving family.
Jools then meets a living girl named Eloise. She looks exactly like Elly. This meeting could mean Elly has been reborn. Or it could show Jools that there are many wonderful people in the world.
