BLACK COCKATOO

Black Cockatoo is a true story inspired by the legendary First Nations cricketer Johnny Mullagh and Australia’s first international sporting team.

More than 150 years ago, 13 brave Aboriginal men in Western Victoria picked up their cricket bats and embarked on a treacherous voyage to England and into the unknown. Risking illness and persecution, Australia’s first international cricket team amazed the English crowds with astonishing talent, personality and grit. This hidden legend of triumph and tragedy came to light when a group of young activists stole into the Wimmera Discover Centre to expose the truth of what happened to Johnny and his teammates.
