AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Four days after tropical Cyclone Larry devastated the North Queensland town of Innisfail, playwright Adam Grossetti and director/playwright Jean-Marc Russ travelled north to interview the survivors of the cyclone. They had read that one of the inhabitants of the August Moon caravan park had died during the cyclone, sparking a trial by media of the park's owners. Over the next twenty-four hours Jean-Marc and Adam uncovered an inspiring tale of the resilience of a local community faced with unbelievable catastrophe.'
