Australian Heritage
Courage, Pride and Honour

The Zuytdorp Survivors - Courage

The Zuytdorp departs the Cape of Good Hope, Table Bay, with the ship Kockenge. She pulls ahead of the Kockenge due to her being a much larger and faster vessel. The captain sails until sighting land before turning north for Batavia, making full benefit of the winds. But catastrophe is all they meet, no success in voyage to be celebrated. The Zuytdorp is shipwrecked, and this is the story of the survivors.

Afghan - Camel Strings
and the Australian Outback - Pride

Set in South Australia, 1884; this is the story of three Afghan cameleers as they go about delivering supplies along the Birdsville Track. Follow Nak, Shir and Abdul on an adventure across outback Australia, where their pasts catch up to them in many ways. Individual feelings are tested to the limit, insecurities are measured by fear, and desire is outweighed by need. Angry and forgiving, tired and alive, eager and pessimistic. They fight against the conditions, against the hate, and against their pasts.

Tom of Twofold Bay - Honour

This is the story of Tom, Killer whale of Twofold Bay, Eden, friend to George Davidson (bay whaler) and others like him: it is based upon a true story that will live in the memory of the citizens of Eden for eternity, a museum being built in Tom's honour upon his death. It all took place on the East Coast of Australia, Twofold Bay, Eden, and it is here that an extraordinary story unfolds of an unwritten contract between man and beast, one of nature's most powerful and intelligent, one that is misunderstood and occasionally labelled unkindly.
