    ROBERT LOWE
    THE MISH

    An award-winning story of family, community and tradition on Victoria’s Framlingham Aboriginal Mission. The Mish is a charming, humorous memoir of times past, about growing up on western Victoria’s Framlingham Aboriginal Station in the 1950s and ’60s. Robert Lowe’s family came to the Mission of their own volition at a time when mixed race marriages were better supported by the Aboriginal community than by the white community. A celebration of the resilient and unified extended family.
