(  ) siri51 | Apr 8, 2020 | "In 1894, twelve-year-old Matilda flees the city slums to find her unknown father and his farm. But drought grips the land, and the shearers are on strike. Her father has turned swaggie and he’s wanted by the troopers. In front of his terrified daughter, he makes a stand against them, defiant to the last. You’ll never catch me alive, said he… Set against a backdrop of bushfire, flood, war and jubilation, this is the story of one girl’s journey towards independence.
