Chook: I've got black-fella in me
Ranger Lyall: Don't say
Kev: Yeah our great grandmother was aboriginal
Ranger Lyall: Of course you're black-fella you were born during the daytime that's why your skin is fair and your eyes are blue, I was born during the night that's why my skin is black and my eyes are brown

Very well done

I found this film to be much better than expected, especially compared to the relatively low score on IMDb. I'd give it a solid 8.5. Fine acting by both the father and the little boy (and all the incidental characters). It reminded me a bit of the Russian film "The Return (Vozvrashchenie)." Both were so-called last rides between father and son(s). If you like this film, there's a good chance you'll like "The Return." One of the things I really liked about this movie was that it didn't need to have every moment filled with dialog like a lot of movies. There are some great scenes with little or no dialog where the interaction between the characters and their environment created enough mood on their own. More dialog would have just been a distraction at times. My only complaint about the film was that I wish it was a bit longer. But then that's a sign of a good film, you don't want it to end.
