the australian bush, and its desert counterpart, the outback, are powerful figures in our national storytelling, and nowhere more so than on the big screen. think walkabout, wake in fright, picnic at hanging rock, wolf creek. it' s not always a place of unbounded horror – in the red dog films and priscilla, for instance, it' s a place of infinite possibility and reinvention – but despite the old assertion that this is a

one of the most interesting things about the films made in australia from 1906 to 1914 is the high proportion of feature productions among them.
