The trio, accompanied by friends, attempt to drove the herd of 2,000 cattle from the property to the army's meat ship in Darwin. The town, port and the island that Nullah was shipped to when Australia would send Aboriginal children to Christian Missions is subsequently bombed by the Japanese.Did we mention that it's not only called Australia and set in Australia, but stars Australians, was directed by an Australian, funded by an Australian (albeit one with US citizenship), written by several Australians, filmed in Australia and premiered in Australia. In AUSTRALIA! note And as Hugh Jackman said during the Oscars, "Everything is being downsized due to the recession. For example, next year I'll be starring in a film called 'New Zealand'."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In 2022, it was announced that an expanded Mini Series version of the film would be produced, which would make use of unused footage from the original shoot and feature an alternate ending. Titled Faraway Downs, the new cut is set to premiere on Hulu and Star platforms in winter 2022-2023.

Anyone Can Die - A total of six plot-important characters die throughout the course of the movie. Seven if you count Drover's dog.

Archnemesis Dad: Fletcher is Nullah's father, cares nothing for the boy, and poses a major threat towards him throughout the movie.

Artistic License – Economics - The cattle drive involves some 2000 head of cattle. An infantry division at this time would consume something like 3500 to 5000kg of meat, or 16 cattle, per day. The Australian army had three infantry division (6th, 7th and 9th) in the Middle East at this stage plus the 8th in the Pacific region, meaning this load of cattle would probably keep the army happy for about a month. Even assuming that the meat may not be directly for Australian soldiers overseas, food rationing in the rest of Australia was in place and the idea that 2000 cattle would not be able to find a buyer in this situation is interesting to say the least.
