A young sister and brother are left stranded in the blistering heat of the vast Australian outback. Facing exhaustion and starvation, their salvation comes when they cross paths with an Aboriginal boy on ‘walkabout’, a ritual in which he must leave his home and learn to survive off the land. He teaches them how to survive in the wilderness, but a clash of cultures leads to terrible and tragic consequences.

Details

1970s Australian drama directed by Nicolas Roeg. While out on a picnic in the Australian outback with his teenage daughter (Jenny Agutter) and young son (Lucien John), a man (John Meillon) goes insane and kills himself. With very few supplies the siblings do all they can to survive the harsh conditions of the outback.

When they meet a young Aborigine (David Gulpilil) who is on walkabout - a rite of passage ritual where he must survive in the wilderness for several weeks - he finds food and water for them and develops a form of communication with the young boy despite being unable to speak English.
