'Murray River Girl' a true story, by Cathy Hope, is set in Australia from 1934 -1945, during the era of the Great Depression, Polio Epidemic and World War Two.

From birth, 25 April 1934 until November 11, 1945, Roma spent her childhood on the banks of the Murray River at Coomealla in New South Wales.

Roma's story evolves as she roams around freely playing at the riverbank and in the bush.

The Murray River, Gypsies, travelling circuses, rabbit plagues and droughts all brought her many, sometimes hilarious adventures.

Free, bookings essential.
