Aunty Pam and Uncle Craig Honeysett, brother and sister, join Luke Wighton and tell stories of their early life in Euabalong, swimming, fishing, walking to school, hot scones on a tree trunk and hiding from the Welfare. They move to Wagga Wagga as the second resettlement family and encounter racism for the first time. They find a way to fit in through sport and education and Balls. Their mother, Aunty Violet Honeysett, becomes a community leader and is so honoured when she cuts the ribbon at the opening of The Wiradjuri Bridge. Pam weaves her way to greatness and Craig learns “it’s hard to be boss to a brother.”
