Charlie, Elsa and Fay take you on a musical journey back to 1940’s post war Perth. Against a backdrop of curfews, and the fear of arrest for consorting, white and black manage to form their own club. For a night they can forget their worries and experience rare happy times singing, dancing, listening to music, and with a little luck… romance.
Forty years on, as the club faces demolition, our three characters meet once again to stage a musical reunion and protest in an attempt to save their old stomping ground. As the trio reflects upon loves lost and found, old arguments and alliances resurface.
Dark secrets and ghosts that have lingered for more than half a century are revealed, and we discover that reconciliation is more than saying sorry.

"Waltzing the Wilarra is a joyful, indigenous musical extravaganza in which the wilarra (full moon) shines a sober light on the past and present issues of reconciliation between black and white Australia. With its whimsical feel, the upbeat musical elements and the witty dialogue, Waltzing the Wilarra manages to take a critical look at Australian society without needing a moral sledgehammer. "
