Woolloomooloo Bad

<p>In 1930 Sybil Pace returns to wharf-side Woolloomooloo with<br />two small children no husband and in need of a job. Work is<br />scarce. The wharves are quiet but at night the sly grog shops<br />and brothels come to life. Toughened by the poverty and<br />violence that characterised Woolloomooloo Sybil and her son<br />George do what they must to survive.<br />Based on a true story "Woolloomooloo Bad" tracks the lives of<br />a working-class inner-Sydney family through the great<br />depression and into the war years. Epic in scope and rich in<br />humanity "Woolloomooloo Bad" weaves the colloquial<br />sardonic cultural norms of a bygone era into a wonderful and<br />distinctly Australian story.</p>
