It's not what you are meaning, but Round the Twist, which was obviously also Australian, was also well known for it's very long credits. Maybe it was the done thing in Australia at the time.
Every incarnation of Round The Twist (4 to date) has credits that run seemingly forever and a day. Might just be a very clever psychological trick. It has been on Five but was most commonly seen on CBBC. It is also one of the best TV themes tunes I've ever heard
The early Milkshake airing that WillPS was probably referring to was most likely "The Adventures of the Bush Patrol".
Other shows which could have been given an airing, this is off the top of my head: Emu pink windmill, Avenger penguins, How dare you, Chorlton, Thomas the tank engine, Dream street, Trap door. Dr Zitbag.
Bernard's Watch still turns up on occasion but it's never obvious from the listing whether it's from the original run or the half-baked reincarnation of 2004.
Thomas The Tank Engine is now apparently owned by Mattell.

Regarding super-long credits - I recall one of the programmes on Milkshake/Milkshake FM/Shake in the very early days of Channel 5 being an Australian programme, set in some kind of national park, with an incredibly long set of credits. Does anybody know what that programme was?

Plenty of good stuff not included though; Max's Millions, Bernard's Watch, Mopatop's Shop, Zzzap!!, Tots TV just to name a few off the very top of my head.
