The Duots: a family portrait, 2009

The Duot Family (from left to right: Aleer, Maliet, Chut, Nyakoor and Duot), pose for a family portrait outside their suburban home. Dressed in their Sunday best, they are a long way from their homeland of Sudan, but for the Duots, life in Australia has been good.
