This painting pays tribute to the work ethic of our community. The work ethic that has been confined to a struggle for survival, exploited through slavery and hidden in the lie of the Aussie battler forging his way in an unforgiving land.

The image depicts a group of girls working out at ‘The Camp of Mercy’ - Aboriginal Mission at Darlington Point NSW.  The mission trained young girls, many were of the stolen generation, for domestic service from 1880 to 1924.
