Karla Grant Presents: 'Bread and Dripping' and 'Yorky Billy'

Bread and Dripping
Four women recount their lives during the bleak years of the economic depression of the 1930s. Tibby Whalan, Eileen Pittman, Beryl Armstrong and Mary Wright describe their struggles to survive and maintain families when faced with widespread unemployment, evictions and hardship.
The film makes extensive use of archival footage and photographs from the 1930s to 
present a unique insight into the lives of women in Australia. Made in 1981, the documentary has been restored from 16mm original film materials.
Yorky Billy
This film by Kim McKenzie is a portrait of a disappearing way of life in the Northern Territory outback. At Ngurgdu (Spring Peak) in the NT, an area soon to be irrevocably disturbed by uranium mining, 80-year-old William Alderson (known as "Yorky Billy") reflects on his life.
