Worth the wait!


-Postie knocked on the Flyscreen door with My Pre-Ordered copy of this Great Aussie film yesterday! Couldn't wait to slip it into the DVD player & watched it with My Missus & the girls! We'd been to Braidwood, NSW where it was filmed & recognised several Locations thru-out the film. My Paternal GrandFather was Born & raised in Braidwood, hence his middle name, as is the custom...
Senator JB("Braidwood")Dooley.(Scullen/Lang Labor Govts.)Fair bit of "Syncronicity" in this film for Myself, as I can identify with the character of "Jonah"(Bruce Spence) & his lifestyle & Philosophy...
...& when that haunting Music play..."A lark ascending"...the tears flow, wosre than when I watch "Shane"!!!(Alan Ladd-who bore a resemblance to My ol' Man!)
People who loved the film, were all pinching the VCT copies out of the Council Libraries, in the late '80s, as it was on the State school recommended List...
Well, the DVD's finally out & worth the wait & the price!!!
Now...? "The Cars that ate Paris" filmed in nearby "Sofala" where My GrandMother grew up!
