Crossing the Divide

Liam, a scholarship student from the Torres Strait is on his high school History excursion - a two-day trek across the Great Dividing Range, learning about the expedition by Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson. As their guide Lionel draws attention to events often left out of the history books, tensions mount when Liam’s friend Max refuses to see how European settlement created anything but a pathway to progress for a newly forming nation. CROSSING THE DIVIDE is a vital conversation starter for anyone who calls Australia home and asks the question, “Can we find a path to a more unified Australia, or will we always be divided?
