Sure it looks old and the actors speak in an unusually strong Aussie accent that can be off-putting even for this Down Under fellow but its simplicity, scenery shots and innocent story really is wonderful.
I remember seeing this as a kid one summer holiday (the type of movie they put on at midday to entertain us kids along with old Tarzan flicks and bad, bad oh! so bad Sci Fi relics).
Instantly it hit chords within me. As an Australian country lad watching this, I could smell the sun on the gum leaves and the as above-mentioned accents where, yes, goddamn awful BUT so familiar.
For an Aussie, anywhere (and all others everywhere else), watch this film...enjoy it for what it is...
