I keep my review short i thought this hits home for many a trip of a life time to the northern most tip of Australia with father and Son, you know mum just died and Dad is shore getting along in his life he might fall in a deep black depression. Lets save dad from his darkest days and take him on a journey that should of happen years ago. But its too bad dad has become estranged with his son to the point of being vindictive, mule attitude, untrusting, slimy, even using excuses really hits home with many father son relations. This film is a great film its starts of Warrnambool Victoria and thru all the lovely country towns of Echuca, over the border to NSW at Hay, it deviates off course at Tamworth for our young lady dreamer typical teenager a beautiful singer and yes i think the Tamworth hall like it was in the film is easy as that to get into perform like our teenage lady easily did but i love it how a long lost cousin visit is thrown in theres always a long lost family visit in the country and Dad now wants to drive the car to save embarrassment and have pride he can still drive a car. The journey continues thru Tenterfield i want to go to Tenterfield to try the thick shakes it looks like a beautiful town now the relations become deep, as they across the border over QLD the train crossing gives em time to reflect, as the journey progresses north Father and son relations become closer but the larrikins in dad and boots comes out and its petty arguments and finally heated to boiling point outside Emerald including the car. It takes a tough sheila from Mareeba to put an end to the antics and silly petty arguments of the two. Its a great ending i too would make the same error in judgement and if i wasn't given the opportunity like Dad and Son did in this film and ask the question and obtain a favour to cheat their way to the northern tip i too would of just gone fishin at Port Douglas. I love the film because its the moments and the memories on these long road trips even thou it could of been done in 24 hours but was staggered out to pause at our great country towns i too wanna take a road trip similar to this perhaps not starting at Warrnambool but Stay for the end credits even the credits was worth watching.
