In 1982 Sally Morgan travelled to her grandmother’s birthplace, Corunna Downs Station in Western Australia. She wants to trace the experiences of her childhood andolescence in Perth in the 1950’s. Through memories and images, hints and echoes begin to emerge and another story unfolds – the mystery of her aboriginal identity. Gradually her whole family is drawn in to the saga and her great-uncle, her mother and finally her grandmother tell their stories in turn.

MY PLACE is a work of great humour, humanity and courage.
