He returned to Australia in 1966 to work under former BBC producer/director David Goddard. After writing some episodes for series such as Adventures of the Seaspray (1965) and Nice 'n Juicy (1966-67), Free contributed four scripts for the critically-acclaimed Contrabandits (1967-68). The following year he began working on the ABC's Delta series, contributing 23 episodes over two years. He also contributed four episodes to the award-winning series Rush (1976).
Among Free's other productions as writer are: Over There (1972, episode), The Last Rites (1975), The Seven Ages of Man (1975, episode), The Outsiders (1977), Ripkin (1978), Bit Part (1978) and the mini series All the Rivers Run (1983).
