A Long Way From No Go/Growing Up

Duration: 45 minutes

Life was tough and poor as an Aboriginal kid in No Go, in remote Queensland. Tjanara Goreng Goreng navigates the treacherous waters of her childhood, immersed in the legacy of 200 years of brutal treatment of her mother’s people.

What is it like to grow up Aboriginal in Australia? This anthology, compiled by award-winning author Anita Heiss, attempts to showcase as many diverse voices, experiences and stories as possible in order to answer that question.
