The Savoy Ladies Group

The Myrtleford Savoy Ladies Group have met every fortnight for 30 years, to play Tombola, share their language, create plays, go on excursions, teach each other new skills and to maintain their Italian heritage. This short documentary tells the story of the group in the context of the difficulties faced by post-war Italian women migrants in North-East Victoria, their part in the local agricultural industry and the development of a distinctive and unique culture.
