A Great Australian Classic
Set in 1900 South Australia were white settler moved north into Aboriginal land for sheep farming. What I noticed was the aboriginals used tactics to out smart the whites by deploying there forces at the water hole to prevent the whites using it. The aboriginals could not move to another waterhole as it was controlled by another aboriginal tribe. After a sheep was speared an aboriginal was shot and later a white was speared (Bud Tingwell). The film had a happy ending with the aboriginals working for the white shearing sheep.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
