A Widjabul Wia-bal and Githabul man from Cubawee, Frank Roberts made history as Australia’s first signed Indigenous Olympian, stepping into the boxing ring at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

In this compelling, moving, and uplifting evening of storytelling, we meet Frank through the eyes of one of the preeminent cultural figures of her generation — Rhoda Roberts AO.

Beyond boxing, Frank was a man of immense integrity and determination. Known as “Honest Frank,” he fought tirelessly in every sense of the word — in the ring, in advocacy, and for his family and culture.

Rhoda brings the fighting spirit of Frank and her mob to life on stage, tracing a family’s journey from the tumultuous era of dispersal and silence to navigating a world shaped by Government policy.
