Summary Native Born The story of Neil Murray, a forty one year old farmer, singer song writer, poet and musician. He composed Christine Anu's big hit, My Island Home. Neil was born in western Victoria, of Scottish ancestry, and has recently returned to his own homeland on a small farm near the Grampians, after an absence of twenty years. He spent much of that time living with aboriginal people in the Northern Territory. He helped form the Warumpi Band, the trail blazing group who were the first mixed aboriginal / white band to penetrate Australia's booming rock'n'roll scene. Murray's experiences bridge two cultures in a fascinating and illuminating way. He has some interesting and unexpected perspectives on highly topical issues. We have filmed him on the farm in Victoria, with his wife and their two children. Our story also includes material with singers Christine Anu and Archie Roach. PLUS: Trials of Life Our second story is introduced by Brisbane based sportsman and popular poet, Rupert McCall. As Rupert says, it's the Babe style saga of farmer Pip Hudson and his never ending quest to win the national sheep dog trials, held ever year. We follow Pip and his beloved dogs through the vicissitudes of the event ... with unexpectedly hilarious and poignant consequences.
