It's Raining In Mango: Pictures From The Family Album

Synopsis

One family traced from the 1860s to the 1980s, beginning with Cornelius Laffey, an Irish - born journalist. Wresting his kin from the easy living of nineteenth - century Sydney, he takes them to northern Queensland where thousands of hopefuls are digging for gold in the mud. The family confronts the horror of Aboriginal dispossession, and Cornelius is sacked for reporting the slaughter. The cycles of generations turn, one over the other. Only some things change. That world and this world both have their Catholic priests, their bigots, their radicals. Winner of the inaugural Steele Rudd Award, this is an unforgettable tale of the other side of Australia's heritage.
