Me too - it was fabulous. Watched the film many many times. I love it. The soundtrack is a great uplifting cd for those "feelin a bit down" days.

Hi I've never seen this 'cock in a frock on a rock'. After reading this will need to make a point of watching it thou. Donna

It's about 3 drag queens travellin in a bus from Sydney to Uluru - and the people they encounter along the way. Fantastic costumes, excellent camp music, superb one-liners......and also a wonderful aussie experience. We watch it with the map of Australia on the floor - and as the arrive at each town - we move a coin along the map. (i know...we're saddo's - don't get out much!!)

The stage show was amazing - i delayed my move from Sydney to Brisbane so i could go and see the show....(sending OH to Brissy alone to start work) and i followed on alone (with 3 kids:scared: ).

NB - if your not into Drag (etc) - may not like it as much as me!!!!

The Proposition. Excellent movie set in Australia with Ray Winstone.

Breaker Morant, starrring Jack Thomson, Bryan Brown, and the ever cool, Mr Edward Woodward. Has to be among the most outstanding of aussie films ever made, if not thee most

I found 'Chopper' a strange viewing experience. I can't recall any other movie I have ever seen that made me laugh at serious violence. Still, I agree it is an aussie classic and deservedly so.

An Australian classic is a movie called Storm Boy. Set at the Coorong in South Australia about a boy living in isolation with his father and he finds 3 orphaned baby pelicans. Was done in the 70's, but a lovely movie.

Also another 70's movie worth watching is Puberty Blues. A movie about teenages set on Sydneys Northern Beaches. I learnt alot from that movie when I was a kid

Romper Stomper is another classic. Also had Russell Crowe playing a skinhead in Melbourne. Quite violent, but a good movie.

For something totally bizarre, you could try Bad Boy Bubby. You wont look at plastic wrap in quite the same way afterwards.

A lovely movie I saw a few years ago was one called Under the Lighthouse Dancing. Had Jack Thompson in it.

A funny one with a brilliant Australian cast was Road to Nhill.

There are so many more, but having a brain freeze. Will add them as I think of them.

The "Craic" top film and prob about 10 yrs old, About two Irish dudes who piss off a big IRA man in Belfast and go on the run to Aus to hide from him only to find hes been put on the witness protection programe and send out to Aus! Its still in the video shops in Sydney now. Some great scenes that backpackers can relate to like overstaying ur visa and getting chased through Bondi by immigration! lol
