Jim goes out with them because of the regard in which his father was held, and comes back having earned his own respect.

    Movies like this a rare. It makes me proud to be a AUSTRALIAN. It has all the things that somehow we seem to have lost in our haste to make a dollar. Old time values and the sense of responsibility to ourselves and to others.If we could only relearn the things that this movie see...( read more)ms to project.

    I love the fact that the high country is still like it is in the movie. I go there asoften as i can and have chased brumbies through the mountains. Except for a few resorts been built it is the same. When u get up the top of the snowy's u have to go by horse coz it's just to hilly and rocky for 4wd. I've camped over in craig's hut. Unfortunaly it is now burnt down :( from bush fires.
