OUTBACK Magazine OUTBACK 160 Edizione posteriore

Lights, camera, country! It’s the ‘reel’ story of the movies in and of the bush in the new issue of OUTBACK. Rural, regional and remote Australia has a long history in film, from the world’s first-ever feature length movie about the Ned Kelly gang in 1906, through the surges and slumps of the 20th century, to the modern, arguably more authentic cinematic experiences of today. Movies have always been an important form of the nation’s self-expression and what it means to be Australian, and that remains as true as ever. Also in this edition: what happens to our live-export cattle when they get off the boat in Indonesia?; 150 years of sugar in the Clarence Valley; stunning photography from wild Tasmania; a largely forgotten Gallipoli hero and making tracks from the Victorian Alps to the mighty Murray River.
