Rabbit proof fence
Hi All
I watched Rabbit proof fence last night, i thought it was very good. Good for the kids to get a good idea of Australian history. I have also bought "Picnic at hanging rock" i will watch that tonight when hubby has finished watching Red Dwarf re runs. Has anyone else seen these films (don't tell me the ending of Picnic at hanging rock though as i've not watched it yet).and what did you think of them. Also are there any other good Australian films i could watch? Thanks Jackie |

I watched them am now reading a history of Australia some of it is very boring some very interesting. I feel that I need to know more than just the usual tourist hype if I'm going to live there. :)
Kim I watched the film a few years ago...I was very disappointed in it. |

It is NOT a true story, just to let you know, it paints a very poor picture of Neville.
And so it should, after all he was in charge during the stolen generation era.... |

If you read the book it has absolutely no reference to a forcible removal, and it was written by Doris Pilkington who I think may know more about it than both of us. Dont misunderstand me, I love the film, love the book more and support any native claims to land rights, as any previous post I have made clearly shows, but mis-information helps no-one. |
