FARRAM, Steven 2018

The true story of two sisters born in Borroloola, NT, who lived in Darwin with their foster parents during the early 1900s. In 1922, they left Darwin for Singapore and never returned to live in the Territory again. The McLeod sisters achieved much considering how Aboriginal people were treated at that time. Their ultimate fates were tragic but their lives in Darwin had been successful.
