year old Tammy Damulkurra lives in Maningrida - a remote Aboriginal
community in Arnhem Land. Tammy has friends and likes the disco and
thinks at last she has her first boyfriend but he cheats on her and

parents send her to the outstations for several weeks to cool off
and she quickly gets used to the bush and fishing and hunting with
relatives. When she returns to Maningrida her love life is a mess
and it's not until she leaves again for school that she realises
that it's all going to be okay. Originally released in 1995 this

remote communities in Australia. "a story that will strike chords
with many teenagers," with a "naive quality and adolescent voice
(which) makes it instantly accessible" - B Richardson First
