The extraordinary life of the legendary Daisy Bates, known as the female Lawrence of Arabia, who contributed greatly to the exploration of southern Australia. This unconventional woman entered the new world as correspondent for The Times of London. She shows her abilities as anthropologist and linguist, skills she tirelessly used to help the Aborigines. A saint to some, manipulative, snobbish, and perverse to others, she was a respectable Victorian, a staunch monarchist, and faithful upholder of the British Empire. Interweaving fiction and biography, history and memory, past and present, this film reveals the extraordinary life of Daisy Bates through photographs, interviews, personal notes, letters, and newspaper articles.
