In 1999 as we watched the devastation of East Timor, a woman in
Yarrawonga remembered the debt Australia owed Timor from World War II,
the outrage of the 1975 invasion, the murder of the "Balibao 5"and the
injustices that have been perpetrated against the Timorese for decades.
One woman’s journey of a life time for a people whose journey to freedom
has finally finished. Experience of the warmth, tears and excitement of Mavis'
story and the story of the women of East Timor.
