Mabo

A fine and tight retelling of the Mabo story, significant for Australia history, drama and our future directions. Both lead actors did a fine job, particularly in the early scene of Eddie life on the railways. This period is rarely depicted, and many opportunities exist for further exploration of the war and post-war period, from say 1940 to 1990. As a writer of historical fiction, please review for example, Xavier Herbert, Hal Porter, Frank Hardy and many other authors. At present I am completing Forgetting and Remembering, a novel with indigenous and other characters, with events paralleling the Brewarrinna 'riots' of 1987, events that led directly to the creation of the Royal Commission to Indigenous Deaths in Custody. I welcome enquiries, especially from Susan Smith!!
