Slasher
Based on the amount of backpackers who vanish in Australia this is a slash them up survival horror done better than most and works due to it being so believable.

"Mad Max 2, along with The Year of Living Dangerously. As far as I’m concerned that was a time of filmmaking in Australia when we were excelling. And I can watch Mad Max 2 over and over again."

Lovely stories
Great Little Program
Two episodes in and I was having a little cry at just how sweet the story was.
Such a lovely program capturing the family spirit.
Hands down, the best thing to come out of Australia since Hugh Jackman!

"“The first time I read this one, I was on tour in Australia. I had to hide in a hotel room for an hour to finish it. I was devastated, crying, the lot. It was one of the first novels by an African to be published in English, and it is a masterpiece. Breathtaking stuff.”"
