How are you, Pops?
Yeah good!
Good morning.
You come from far away and bring us alcohol, ganja, tobacco, all bad!
Is that it?
I'm off then.
Pete!
Lot of rubbish in your truck.
Lot of rubbish in your head.
Charlie?
Don't just walk past.
- I don't need a big note. - No worries.
But I've only got $20!
- Here you go. - Need some more?
I'm okay now.
Hey, hey, hey, not so many!
- Another one. - No.
Leave some for me!
Hey old man, bring me back a cigarette!
This house...
...this is the sort of house I want.
If it's like this house, then it'll be okay.
You coming hunting?
There's a buffalo around, up the road a bit.
You not working?
Truck broke down,
waiting on a new one from Darwin.
Got the starter?
In the back.
Make way.
Let's get going.
Away you go.
Done.
Where are we going?
Where I saw some tracks.
You ready?
Good to go.
Look, there, there, there!
- Got him! - Beautiful shooting!
- Right in the heart! - Straight through the heart!
One shot and he went down.
- Watch out! - He's come alive!
Run! Run!
Turn! Turn! Shoot! Shoot!
Got him this time!
Shot him properly!
This time we both got him!
My legs are aching...
...and I'm hungry for meat.
We should have shot...
...a small one.
This one is wrecking my car.
No this is a good one, plenty of meat.
There's a car parked there!
Where?
In the trees.
It's a policeman!
A policeman's parked there!
Sit down, sit down!
Don't panic, sit down slowly.
Sit down very slowly.
I better sit down slowly too.
They've got my car...
...bugger shit.
And your rifle and my gun.
And all that tender meat.
That'll soon stink up the whole police station!
And then the maggots will be crawling through it in no time!
Anything to eat?
I can't eat this.
I have no money left...
...or food.
I'm hungry.
There's lots of food in the bush.
It's like a supermarket out there.
Why don't you answer your phone?
Got no recharge left.
We need you to teach the kids...
...how to dance...
...properly.
The kids go to school now.
They don't care anymore.
We need to teach them...
...the traditional ways.
Get Bobby to teach them.
He can do it.
He knows how to lead them.
Anything to smoke?
The cops nearly caught me,
but those white fellas got caught good and proper.
And I'd got this...
...but I hadn't paid him yet either.
Serves him right, always ripping us off.
Is this worth fifty dollars?
- No fucking way! - It's big money.
And I didn't pay him!
Can you look after him for a bit?
Stuff to do...
See you later.
See you.
He won't go anywhere.
You know I'm sick don't you?
My kidneys are no good.
Soon they'll stop working.
Yeah.
I know you're sick.
I know that.
It's all that...
...white man junk food we eat.
They'll take me to Darwin.
Then you'll die in the wrong place...
...a long way from your country.
A long way.
There'll be no one with you...
...no one to look after you.
I'm not a recreational shooter...
I am...
...a hunter.
I danced for...
...the Queen of England...
...when they opened that building.
I bet you never did that.
What are you doing?
Making a spear.
Why?
For hunting.
Catch something to eat.
Why don't you use a gun?
Why don't you go away?
Go and play somewhere.
Treacherous bastard!
Fuck those thieving...
...white bastards.
Why did you come here?
From far away... stealing people's stuff!
Is this your land?
I need to get money too.
I want my money!
All my money, the whole lot!
Where is it? I need it now!
What's going on?
That's a police car!
I'm borrowing it.
They took your rifle...
...and your car.
They took...
...my spear...
...and my gun.
I work for them catching criminals
and they don't pay me.
They stole our land
and put a police station on it.
They're lucky.
I'm only borrowing their car!
We'll bring it back later.
Where are we going?
Live the old way.
What's that for?
No electricity there.
Carrying water.
Where we used to sleep as kids...
...we'll hunt and fish there.
...going bush, going bush...
...going to my Mother Country...
...yes, your Mother Country...
Second, second.
This is not your Mother Country.
No. This is where we run out of fuel!
The fuel's run out!
We've barely left...
...and we've already run out of fuel!
- I'm off then. See you. - Yeah.
You'll be back as soon as you're hungry!
Plenty of food out there!
Yeah eh?
Good tucker, this.
Our food...
He took my spear, that policeman.
Why take my spear? Are you going to throw it?
Good, good, good.
Not bad.
Long time since I painted anything...
I've been waiting for you, Fish.
Oh! You're beautifully cooked.
That's what I want.
Yes! My Barramundi.
Well done.
Oh! You're cooked just right, Fish...
Ah Fish...
Hey Fish...
Good Fish...
Very good, Fish.
I've been away fishing, now I'm home.
I'm eating well.
Here, I'll wrap some fish for you.
Just a minute... I'm busy.
I'm free now!
And this is my country! I can dance with it!
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap!
The ancestors used to eat these.
Ashes.
They'd sit by the fire here.
They've all passed on.
Gone.
No one left.
Me...
...me at the Opera House.
...and to its cultural and community life.
The Queen was there...
...declaring the Sydney Opera House...
...and opened it...
...the Opera House.
Just a boy...
...and the Queen.
Mother Country is a long way...
...too far...
...I can't see it...
...my Mother...
Now I'm a foreigner?
I want a doctor.
Home...
...we have to go home.
You gonna buy some grog?
Are you banned?
I'm okay...
I'm allowed to buy it.
This one.
Something else as well.
Give him your I.D.
You really are not banned.
Yeah I'm good.
Where are we going?
Going home to have a drink.
Wait! It's the cops.
Quick. Hide the grog!
- I'm allowed. - But I'm banned.
I'm banned!
If you give me grog then you'll be banned and go to jail.
Look at the mess!
My home, what a mess.
What a mess!
They should just shoot us...
...like in the old days.
Hey you lot!
All's clear, you can come out now!
We've got one here not banned!
Come out from that grass, we got grog!
You bring shame to us.
She's wrong skin for you.
You've broken the law.
And that's poison you're drinking,
it rots your brain.
I don't know what's wrong with him...
...shaming us.
Who knows?
Why is he like that now?
He didn't go the straight way...
...he went any which way.
He just helped himself to a woman.
Nothing left.
I'll get some,
there's some in my account.
A police car!
Watch out, policemen coming!
Where's your home?
Where's your home, eh?
This is our land, you bastards!
Hard to talk to you...
...when you don't look like you.
I got that license for my rifle.
They're teaching me here,
then I'll go back,
and I'll work in my own country.
I'm going.
I want to go home now...
...back to my own country...
...where my place is...
Same old junk, same old prices.
Where's all the decent food?
The food in prison is better than this.
Ah, doesn't matter.
What are you doing in the bush?
You know I like it here.
I had to get this ranger to find you.
He's always finding me in the bush.
How come you don't answer your phone?
Old number.
What's the new number then?
Only got old number.
You going to come and teach the kids to dance?
No... not me...
...get Bobby to teach those kids.
He knows how to do it.
Bobby's sick.
His lungs are bad.
Yeah, Bobby smokes too much.
They've taken him to hospital in Darwin.
Okay, I'll teach them.
I'd like to do it.
Me.
I went from this land,
by myself.
Not just me, other boys too.
We went far, all the way to...
...Sydney.
We danced there, all the boys.
Dancing for...
Queen Elizabeth... Queen...
...from England, London.
I've danced there!
For the opening of the Opera House
and the Queen was there too.
Me, and all them boys.
Number one didgeridoo player,
and number one clapstick player.
Very big.
Many, many people were there...
...at the Opera House.
Do you want to give it a try?
I'll show you, eh?
