This picture was one of fifty Australian films selected for preservation as part of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia's Kodak / Atlab Cinema Collection Restoration Project.
This Australian movie was successful at the box-office when theatrically released in Australia in 1977.
This Australian film was controversial upon theatrical release in Australia due to the picture's violence, lesbianism and explicit nudity.
This movie's producer John Weiley has written that this film "uses the mirror of the past to focus on the obsessions of today - the independence of women - civilization against nature - freedom against responsibility".
This film is based on a true story. The movie was inspired by the escape of women convicts from a New South Wales Paramatta stockade during the colonial days of Australia.
