Summary: "Mike (Colin Friels - Malcolm) and his buddy, Johnny (Harold Hopkins - Don's Party), are miners in search of sapphires in the harsh emerald belt of Central Queensland. Joined by rough diamonds Ted (Bruce Spence - Mad Max) and Stella (Kris McQuade - Strictly Ballroom), these likeable battlers pin their hopes on a new claim until a big mining company moves in on their turf with machines, bulldozers - and guns! With help of a travelling city doctor (Norman Kaye - Lonely Hearts), these mates are determined to play the big miners at their own game. This rollicking Aussie favourite won the AFI for Best Screenplay in 1983 - producer John Dingwall's follow-up to his masterpiece, Sunday Too Far Away (1975). Presented on a pristine new digital transfer, this rarely-seen gem is presented for the fist time ever on DVD." -DVD BACK COVER

Summary: ...1990s Australian cinema provides a key site for the examination of Australian identity in multicultural terms. Drawing on the work of Ghassan Hage, Stuart Hall and Daniel Nourry, this article investigates how notions of Australian identity in a multicultural society are played out (and with) by Australian cinema in the 1990s. Particular attention is paid to Head on (Kokkinos, 1998) and Strictly ballroom (Lurhmann, 1992), as examples of different approaches to this issue. -- Taken from Abstract
