Everyday Brave: Mistake Creek – Steve Craig

26m Biography, Documentary, First Nations 2001

At Mistake Creek, Steven and Jo-Anne have built a highly successful cattle station and a strong family life they wouldn't change for anything.

Steve Craig manages a highly successful and proudly self-sufficient cattle station for its traditional owners, the Mistake Creek community. But it hasn’t always been that way. Mistake Creek is an example of how dreams can be fulfilled – with commitment, dedication and sheer hard work.

EVERYDAY BRAVE profiles First Nations Australians who have fought daily battles against discrimination, apathy and ignorance to make a real difference. They come from across the country – bush and city – and are often largely unknown outside their communities. Their achievements are spread across the arts, commerce, education, health and politics but all these people are defined by their unwavering commitment to the promotion of First Nations rights, culture and identity. Their stories tell of lives marked by struggles and hardship but lightened by joy and humour.

A Film Australia National Interest Program in association with CAAMA Productions. Produced with the support of the National Council for the Centenary of Federation and the Australia Council and in association with SBS Independent.
