Storyline
It's the start of WWII in Northern Australia. The Japanese are getting close. People are evacuating and burning everything in a "scorched earth" policy. Rather than kill all their cattle, a disparate group decides to drive them overland half way across the continent.—Steve Crook

Short Review
Stripped of its tawdry "fictionalisation", this film ranks high among screen achievements -- with many fine directorial details, accurate if broad characterisation, and full exploitation of periodic climactic incident native to original cinema.
