<p>In 1930, Sybil Pace returns to wharf-side Woolloomooloo with<br/>two small children, no husband and in need of a job. Work is<br/>scarce. The wharves are quiet, but at night the sly grog shops<br/>and brothels come to life. Toughened by the poverty and<br/>violence that characterised Woolloomooloo, Sybil and her son,<br/>George do what they must to survive.<br/>Based on a true story, "Woolloomooloo Bad" tracks the lives of<br/>a working-class, inner-Sydney family through the great<br/>depression and into the war years. Epic in scope and rich in<br/>humanity, "Woolloomooloo Bad" weaves the colloquial,<br/>sardonic cultural norms of a bygone era into a wonderful and<br/>distinctly Australian story.</p>
