The Overlanders 1946
Directed by Harry Watt | Starring: Chips Rafferty, John Nugent Hayward, Daphne Campbell, Jean Blue
It's the start of WWII in Northern Australia. The Japanese are getting close. People are evacuating and burning everything in a "scorched earth" policy. Rather than kill all their cattle, a disparate group decides to drive them overland half way across the continent, from Wyndham in Western Australia through the Northern Territory outback of Australia to pastures north of Brisbane, Queensland.
