Barrumbi Kids

A coming-of-age adventure about two best friends, Tomias and Dahlia, growing up together in the Country, dealing with the dreams and challenges of childhood in a remote Northern Territory community. Life in Mandjakkorl is never dull for these kids: with crazy cracker nights, lost treasure, huge grass fires, initiation ceremonies, feral chooks, ancestral spirits, outsiders trying to change things, and of course, big salty Crocs! In short, a whole outback of adventure and sometimes trouble, not that they go looking for trouble...it sort of manages to find them!
