Stage show tells the story of Australia’s first Indigenous Olympian | ABC NEWS
Acclaimed artist Rhoda Roberts has returned to the Sydney Opera House for her one woman show, ‘My Cousin Frank’.
It tells the story of the first Aboriginal man to be selected to represent Australia at the 1964 Olympics – who had to travel on a British passport after being denied citizenship.
Rhoda has had a big impact on Australian cultural life and is credited with helping to introduce Welcomes to Country in the modern era.
