To me, this movie is an Aussie classic and I really enjoyed watching it,

This movie gives us a very good indication on how they used to work/ live back in those times and that the pay wasn't all that great.

Not only is this movie about how they worked but it's also demonstrates how they lived, which is a lot different now a days.

But as each movie does this movie has its share of sadness which could bring a tear to your eye.

I encourage everyone to give this movie a watch as I think it is a very funny and enjoyable Aussie film.

One of the few Australian movies that shows the outback and the men who worked there as they really were, without trying to romanticise and play down the brutality of the place and time. Great performance by Jack Thompson as the ageing gun shearer.

A great movie reflecting the the lead up to the Shearer's strike of 1955. Jack Thompson leads a group of shearers ( not sheep hearders) and shows life on an outback station just before the 9 month long strike when the "prosperity bonus" was cancelled and shearers pay was cut.

A great movie, made for Australians, showing how Australia was once. Highly recommended
