Based on the well-loved Australian classic by Mrs. Aeneas Gunn, this is the remarkable true story of Jeannie Gunn, a woman who fought to overcome sexual and racial prejudice amid the harsh beauties of the outback. Leaving her Melbourne existence for a new life on her husband's isolated ranch, Jeannie's feisty, good-natured attitude soon wins over the misogynistic stockmen, but she faces a much tougher challenge in trying to change their racist attitudes towards the indigenous aboriginal population.

En 1830, en Tasmanie, île australienne située au sud du continent, les dernières tribus aborigènes sont les victimes des nombreux massacres perpétrés par les colons blancs. Joanna, dont la famille vient juste de s’installer sur l’île, est alors une petite fille d’une huitaine d’années aux cheveux couleur de feu vivant dans un milieu familial très religieux. Un jour, alors qu’elle se promenait avec son père, Joanna rencontre, au bord d’une rivière, Manganinnie, une femme aborigène ayant échappé aux massacres.

Three stories of the supernatural are recounted in this anthology. Rick, an Aboriginal boy living near a swamp on Bribie Island, is haunted by an American solider who drowned in quicksand. Ruby and her family live in a house near long-abandoned train tracks, which still carry ghostly apparitions. A landlord has trouble evicting the tenants of an old warehouse: a couple that's been dead for years

Follows the lives and struggles of four generations Australian Aboriginal women from the 1820s to the 1980s.
