Storyline

Under the pretense of having a picnic, a geologist takes his teenage daughter and 6-year-old son into the Australian outback and attempts to shoot them. When he fails, he turns the gun on himself, and the two city-bred children must contend with harsh wilderness alone. They are saved by a chance encounter with an Aboriginal boy who shows them how to survive, and in the process underscores the disharmony between nature and modern life.

Critics consensus

“With its harrowingly beautiful depiction of the Australian Outback and spare narrative of culture clash, Walkabout is a peculiar survival epic.”

There is always this feeling that Roeg, the cameraman for Fahrenheit 451 and Far from the Madding Crowd has a positive and original talent bursting to be developed. It's just a case of what that talent is going to find to say.

Roeg's training as a cinematographer brings both advantages and hazards.

What makes the film triumph over this literalness is another kind of intensity which one feels, since it's a filmmaker's, is all Roeg's.

Roeg successfully conjures up a tale that is as dazzling as the shimmering landscape against which it is set.
