Embark on a heart-warming journey with ‘Two Mates’, a captivating true tale that beautifully captures the unique bond between two young companions. Set against the backdrop of Broome, a coastal gem in Australia’s north-west, the story revolves around Jack, an Indigenous Australian boy, and Raf, a spirited non-Indigenous boy with spina bifida. Follow their everyday adventures – from hunting barni to scouting for hermit crabs, fishing for salmon, and savouring satays at the bustling markets. Join them in their world of imagination, where they transform into superheros. A remarkable twist awaits at the story’s close, when Ref’s wheelchair becomes known, adding a poignant layer to their extraordinary friendship.
