an Aussie sporting epic like no other, 24 July 2005
Author: trojans7 from Australia

this is no classic it not even that great but is purer Aussie. but this movie was and still is one of the most expensive movie made down under. at 10 million in 84 it was unheard of ,in 2005 impossible, for that its an Aussie epic like no other. it maybe just a trashy mix of sporting clichés but works and the cinematography is beautiful.it captures the gold coast and the hinterland of queensland perfectly.

now if you did not know it's now available on DVD.in all its widescreen glory,its a must purchase.plus it has a few extra thats with a look.

As for the race there is rumor that it is back on again this year. who in there right mind would enter such a race is beyond me.
