| Summary |
A short feature based on the extraordinary life of ground-breaking anthropologist and exceptional linguist Daisy Bates and her passionate interest in Australian Aborigines. Bates was also a devout royalist, a fervent believer in the British Empire and an outrageous snob. Masquerading as an immigrant of aristocratic Anglo-Irish descent, a respectable Victorian lady and an international journalist for The Times, she constantly re-invented herself. Recently, it has been revealed that she was a poor child of the Irish potato famine and a bigamist who married the drover, Jack Bates, while she was also secretly married to the infamous Breaker Morant.
