En la tradición de Sunday Too Far Away, esta película independiente se basa en la clásica obra australiana de John Power. La foto cuenta la historia de un grupo de mineros que viven en un campamento en el interior de Australia. Ellos juran, pelean, juegan y beben mucho. En el centro de la historia se encuentra el conflicto entre Tarzán, el líder autoritario del grupo y Pansy, un chiflado vociferante. Esto da como resultado un puñetazo para el desenlace de la película.

Director
Camera movement and film editing are combined to animate the ceramic figurines of John Perceval. He created his angels "more or less as symbols of the world's survival." An intangible element common to all Perceval's angels is their spirit of humanity. These ceramic sculptures are disting- uished by their beautiful modelling, and their lustrous red copper glaze with its uncanny depth and beauty. Perceval does not devote himself exclusively to ceramic sculpture; he gives equal time to painting and has won the McCaughey and Vizard-Whollohan Prizes, and shared the Wynne Prize in 1961.
