I held off watching this a long time for some reason - maybe it felt too much like a "homework" movie. But it's beautiful - very much worth watching. Clearly constructed for the cameras but obviously based in reality. It tells the story of a postman on a mail run.
Stunning images of the dunes, the abandoned homestead, the sun coming up and going down, the social life along the track.
I so wish they would've made this into a dramatic feature. Surely Rod Taylor had this in mind when making Last Bus to Banjo Creek.
