This flips between present day Brisbane and its early years, when the colony and as importantly the First nations Peoples of the area and its surrounds were still working out how 9and whether) they were to live together.
The contrast between colonists and First Nations Peoples was cleverly mimicked by present day interactions between different peoples occupying modern Brisbane.
There is no fairy story resolution, either then or in the present, but the wisdom of (indigenous) Granny Eddie is one of the more uplifting (but not sugar coated) views of a way forward.
Highly recommended.
I will now have to go back to Too Much Lip!
