I threw in Don's Party for nostalgia sake. It was one of, if not the first, movie I remember from when we first got HBO back in the day. Not sure if it belongs on a Best of Australia list but an interesting period piece (a party, set in the late 60's IIRC, ostensibly to celebrate a hoped for Labour victory in the elections).

  - I thought it was true ever since the first review I heard, The novel �Picnic at Hanging Rock�, by Joan Lindsay - PhilJ 19:10:49 09/09/13 (1)
    is the source
    - I should have said, the source (the book), was allegedly based on a legend ^ - Road Warrior 06:30:49 09/10/13 (0)
