clip 1, 2Clip description
The three boys are halfway to Darwin when they come upon Aboriginal paintings in a cliff cave. The camera travels up over the extraordinary landscape as the boys revel in their surroundings. They lower themselves down a cliff to a swimming hole, but their naked bath is interrupted by the arrival of some Japanese tourists.
Curator’s notes
Obvious signs of the director’s music clip credentials here, but he keeps the three friends in the frame, even as he’s showing us the grandeur of the landscape. The sequence builds a sense of an Aboriginal Eden, then has a joke about it as the tourists enter the water.
