Description An epic tale of adventure, friendship and Tasmanian Aboriginal culture.

A Not So Traditional Story delighted families last year when it performed in Arts Centre Melbourne’s Fairfax Studio.

This is a story with a little bit of truth and a little bit of make believe, one might say A Not So Traditional Story. Once upon a time two kids, Wurangkili (who is keen on adventure) and Timita (who takes a bit of convincing), are crashed upon by an Alien from a faraway land. Join them as they embark on a quest across the island of lutruwita (Tasmania) in search of the ‘oldest of old elders’, meeting
