TONIGHT! -
REEL AUSSIES!!!
•WHERE DEAD MEN LIE
(1981)
Director KEITH GOW (R), with JOCK (Jack) LEVY (L)
A dramatisation based on a Henry Lawson story "The Australian Cinematograph", made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Lawson's death. This film was shot using the directions written by Lawson in 1896, in the days
when cinema was no more than a curiosity.
The story is about the fate of a drover who has driven a mob of cattle hundreds of miles across the vast dry plains of North-West Australia to their destination.
Luck is against him, and he doesn't make it through the drought-stricken countryside. His remains are found by a search party, one of whom is chosen to take the sad news home to the drover's wife and family. Prod Co: Australian Commonwealth Film Unit. Prod: Gil Brealey. Dir: KEITH GOW (FILM WORK, 1981). Cast: JACK THOMPSON, MAX CULLEN. 15 mins. ALC

Gary Gray 
Ken Goodlet 
Johnny ( - Where's the tinnie? )

Narrator: NIGEL LOVELL. 12 mins. ALC

THE TERRIBLE TEN
(aka TEN TOWN):
Ep: THE JOLLY SWAGMAN
(1962)
Gary Gray Ken GoodletADVISORY: Contains TIME TRAVEL!
A summer's day in Ten Town, an autonomous rural
collective of precocious 1960s Aussie kids. Young Gary (GARY GRAY) is feeling dejected and neglected by his friends, and decides to go for a walk. He comes across a billabong in the bush and meets a swagman (Ken Goodlet). Suddenly he is transported back in time to the 1860s. With his record player in hand, and with the help of the song WALTZING MATILDA (A. B. -"BANJO" - PATTERSON), the swaggy's life is changed. Prod Co: Pacific Film Productions. Prod: Roger Mirams (THE MAGIC BOOMERANG; ADVENTURES OF THE SEASPRAY). Dir: David Baker (THE GREAT McCARTHY, 1975). Cast: GARY GRAY, Ken Goodlet. 13 mins. ALC
PLUS:
A quick Victoria Bitter TV commercial from the 1960s, voiceover by the
great JOHN MELLION!
Johnny ( - Where's the tinnie? ) VB was introduced in the mid 1960s with an innovative television advertising campaign featuring an orchestral score, images of working-class Australians at work and play, and a voice-over by notable Aussie actor JOHN MELLION. The campaign is still used to this day.
"You can get it rollin’, you can get it goalin’, you can get it feedin’ a fire. A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer, and the best cold beer is Vic – Vic Bitter.
It can come at any time, dishin’ up chow, or showin’ ‘em how, shearin' a sheep or milkin' a cow. Matter of fact I got it now. Vic
Bitter."
