1946 35mmAUS, UK |D: Harry Watt 

Tough-as-guts drover Dan McAlpine (Chips Rafferty) must lead a mob of cattle from WA to Queensland during the Second World War to prevent them falling into Japanese hands. 
 
First intended as a propaganda film for the Australian government, this 1946 movie pits a team of hardy drovers against wild horses, crocs, poison weeds and stampedes. 

‘Almost 70 years on, it doesn’t play like a time capsule – just a good story very well told, with a punchy pace and an inspiring spirit of adventure.’ – The Guardian 

Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.
