If you're an Aussie film buff...SEE THIS!!!, 4 September 2001
8/10
Author: leask81 from adelaide, australia

A landmark in Australian cinema, it's an obscene, dirty film focussing on the culture of the outback. While not pleasant to watch, it's poignant and funny at times, and it took an important step in this country's cine- matic history. The fact that Aboriginal activist Foley took this particular role is testament to the film's implications - and yes, that is Hey Dad!'s McGregor in a very different role than her portrayal of ditzy "setchetary" Betty. Rating: 7/10
