Curator’s notes
Manganinnie was filmed in some of the most beautiful locations in Tasmania. In this sequence, narrated by the grown-up voice of Joanna (Elaine Mangan), she remembers Manganinnie’s hopes of finding her people at a tribal meeting place. Losing the fire stick is a major dramatic point: Manganinnie is highly skilled at using fire but does not know how to create it.
