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