Description Five people emerge from the tall spear grass. That one, he’s feeling no-good sorry way. She bin look after him, but really wants a holiday. Her, she’s been here forever. That one, he’s run away from payback, waiting for the mob to forget. And her, she’s causing trouble …

Take a trip to the Top End and discover what it means to live “Long Grass” – the term for Aboriginal people perceived as being homeless and on the fringes, yet living right in the middle of the city. Can such concepts as honour, courage and solidarity exist outside the trappings of a formal postcode?
