Fifty years after Charles Chauvel’s death, feature film curator Paul Byrnes explores the life and work of this pioneering Australian filmmaker in his portrait of the man. There is also a detailed Screenography, behind-the-scenes stills and a map of the Chauvels’ trans-Australian journey in Australian Walkabout (1958) in the Extras gallery.

This is the third portrait by Paul Byrnes in an ongoing series – following George Wallace and Chips Rafferty.
