Summary: This thesis examins the representation of the Australian landscape in five Australian films released between 1975 and 1982. The films are 'The Man From Snowy River', 'Sunday Too Far Away', 'We of the Never Never', 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' and 'The Plains of Heaven'. These five texts are examined in light of feminist theories dealing with subjectivity and representation. The analysis of the place and role of femininity within the texts is conducted through the examination of symbols and metaphors associated with the landscape which operate within the film structure. The thesis concludes that the Australian landscape is constructed within these films in such a way as to support the concept of a white, masculine Australian identity..." -- taken from summary

Summary: "At the turn of the century Australia was still a very young country, in a land as old as time. Few had ventured far from the growing cities and towns of the coast, into that vast heart of Australia - the great Outback. We of the Never Never, adapted from an Australian classic novel, tells of Jeannie (Angela Punch-McGregor) and Aeneas Gunn (Arthur Dignam), a man and his bride who trek to a place where wives are seldom seen, and even less accepted. Enduring hardships and battling against the sexist and racial prejudices of the Australian outback environment this extraordinary woman strives to win the friendship and respect of those about her. Directed by Igor Auzins (Coolangata Gold), this extraordinary story of a woman overcoming hardships and dangers forms the heart warming story of We of the Never Never." - DVD BACK COVER
