Doing a lot with a little - how the people of Cherbourg fell in love with fried scones and damper, despite the harsh memories of living off rations. We find strength and pride in the community and family through shared food.
We meet some of the Aunties of the Many Threads sewing group (Shirley, Daisy, Janelle, Colleen) in the domestic science building to learn about growing up in Cherbourg and how to make and eat fried scones and damper.
We follow Bronwyn on a tour of the boy's dormitory, learning about the realities for the people who were brought to the Cherbourg mission and how they were able to take back the mission and persevere.
We sit down with the Aunties for group lunch where they share personal stories of the realities and hardships they and their families have faced.
