1 july 1971

Under forfærdelige omstændigheder strander en ung teenager og hendes lillebror i den australske vildmark. At nå frem til civilisationen skal vise sig at blive en næsten uoverkommelig prøvelse. Heldigvis møder de en aborigin dreng, som beslutter sig for at hjælpe dem.

Det vestlige USA har langtfra eneret på at lægge landskaber til roadmovies. Australiens øde landeveje indbyder også til lange ekspeditioner ud i den australske vildmark, og flere instruktører har lavet roadmovies i Australien. Et af det mest iøjnefaldende forsøg var The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert fra 1994, hvor tre dragqueens drager af sted fra Sydney til ørkenoasen Alice Springs midt inde på det australske kontinent. Bernice, Tick og Adam er tre transvestitter i deres bedste alder, som har gjort det til en levevej at optræde med store ekstravagante shows. De optræder normalt kun i Sydney-området, men får så et tilbud om et show med alt betalt på et kasino i Alice Springs midt inde på det australske kontinent. Kunsten er at komme fra Sidney til Alice Springs i en gammel bus uden at få alt for mange ridser i lakken - helt bogstaveligt...

A story within a story within a story. In Australia's Northern Territory, an Aboriginal narrator tells a story about his ancestors on a goose hunt. A youngster on the hunt is being tempted to adultery with his elder brother's wife, so an elder tells him a story from the mythical past about how evil can slip in and cause havoc unless prevented by virtue according to customary tribal law.

The Australian Aborigines (in this film anyway) believe that this is the place where the green ants go to dream, and that if their dreams are disturbed, it will bring down disaster on us all. The Aborigines' belief is not shared by a giant mining company, which wants to tear open the soil and search for uranium.

1 januar 1986

Imagine what it would be like if black settlers arrived to settle a continent inhabited by white natives? In 1788, the first white settlers arrived in Botany Bay to begin the process of white colonisation of Australia. But in Babakiueria, the roles are reversed in a delightful and light-hearted look at colonisation of a different kind. This satirical examination of black-white relations in Australia first screened on ABC TV in 1986 to widespread acclaim with both critics and audiences alike. This is the story of the fictitious land of Babakiueria, where white people are the minority and must obey black laws. Aboriginal actors Michelle Torres and Bob Maza (Heartland) and supported by a number of familiar faces from the time, including Cecily Polson (E-Street) and Tony Barry, who starred in major ABC-TV hits such as I Can Jump Puddles and his Penguin award-winning Scales of Justice. Babakiueria was awarded the United Nations Media Peace Prize in 1987.
