YOUNGSTERS sampled a slice of Aboriginal life at a workshop aimed at bringing the land of Neighbours to Teesside.

The internationally acclaimed artist and storyteller Francis Firebrand arrived at the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum, at Stewart Park, Middlesbrough, to deliver his unique brand of stories, music and ancient wisdom from the Aboriginal culture.

As the illegitimate child of an Aboriginal father and a married woman, he has lived through several adventures, including a period living in the Bush.

Mr Firebrand shared his experiences with children during the workshop
