About this product

Product Information

The cult Aussie favourite for the first time ever on DVD! Mike (Colin Friels - Malcolm) and his buddy, Johnny (Harold Hopkins Dons Party), are miners in search of sapphires in the Emerald region of Central Queensland. Theyre likeable battlers who take on the might of the big corporate dollar who move in on their turf with the new machines, bulldozers, and guns! But with the help of a travelling city doctor (Norman Kaye - Lonely Hearts), these unyielding buddies play the big new miners at their own game. This rollicking Aussie favourite won the Australian Film Institute Award in 1983 for Best Screenplay and was the follow-up to John Dingwalls classic screenplay Sunday Too Far Away (1975). Also stars Bruce Spence (Mad Max)

    I lived near the Gemfields when this movie was made. Many memories and great to watch again!

  • atypical aussie grit and humour

    I saw this movie some decades ago and was reminded of it recently at a John Williamson Performance as he had recorded the main song for this. Wasn;t disappointed, and have since watched it more than once. Pity I havent seen hopkins in much since. Friels as good as ever and Bruce Spence is reliable for a chuckle in anything.
