The Loner revisited

Vic Simms has been out of jail for a very long time - but until now, he's hardly ever revisited the songs he wrote as an inmate in the notoriously tough Bathurst jail.

We hear about a new season of the Deadly Award-winning theatre production 'The Dirty Mile', which explores the Aboriginal history of the inner Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy.

And we sit down with a highly-respected clan leader from Arnhem Land as she dyes and weaves pandanus to make baskets and dilly bags.
