Description Janis Balodis' play about 1848 group of Latvian displaced persons dumped in tropical North Queensland. The struggle to find a new life in hostile Australia conjures up ghosts - both of the old life in Europe and of Ludwig Leichhardt's first 1848 expedition.
The play was commissioned by the Sydney Theatre Company and workshopped at the Australian National Playwrights Conference in 1984.
