We don't need maps, Slippery,

we have an Aboriginal elder!

Who?

Not...not the map!

OK, so we drop them off in Broome.

It's just up the road.

16 years old.

School uniform. You seen him?

Willie, you say?

No, he ain't been around here.

You seen a Willie?

Oh, that is a shame

because I need to return this boy

to his poor mother.

Such a shame.

Actually...

Hmm?

..there was one young fella.

He said he was taking off to Broome.

Broome?

Thank you.

Hey, sing along, sing along!

Shut up.

He can't sing, that fella.

G'day.

Coke, please.

Nothing else take your fancy?

We got hot sausage rolls,

hot roast beef rolls.

And hot Chiko rolls.

Whoo, it's hot in here!

Can I have a hot Chiko roll, please?

Um, well, a chicken sandwich then.

Uncle! Uncle, what are you doing?

Uncle, don't touch anything.

What are you doing?

Here, put it in your boonyah. Go on!

It's cold. Stop. Stop. Oooh!

I'll have that.

Oh, OK, money.

Here we go.

What's wrong with him?

Nothing.

Run! Come on.

Quick! Crank it up.

Drive! Drive, hippie, drive!

Go, go, go, go!

In there, quick! Come on! Come on!

Annie! Wait for me!

Wait for me!

Jump! Jump! Jump!

You should have seen you...

See what you've done?

Look what this is.

Hey, look what I got, eh?

Who likes Rolf Harris?

I hate Rolf Harris!

Who is Rolf Harris?

Om.

Om.

You want a sausage?

But stealing is a sin.

Well, you can either be a sinner

or you can starve.

He is right, old man.

Stealing is very, very wrong.

Shut up, Buddha.

Your stealing nearly get us killed!

Me - killed!

My girlfriend - killed!

He just wants to feed us.

Got plenty of tucker here.

We must respect their ways.

I wish I had never met you.

These flies!

Flies...

Slippery. Wait.

Slippery. Slippery, wait.

So, would you like to come out back

in the kitchen

for a hot cup of tea?

No. Actually,

I'm in a big hurry. Thanks.

You got a woman?

Well, I got this girl, Rosie...

Rosie.

Yeah, she back in Broome.

She different one from me.

But, like, I don't know

if she like me, Uncle.

"But...I don't know

if she like me, Uncle."

When you find them,

you gotta grab them.

Grab them?

Yeah, grab them.

Look, look, look.

See, when God made man

and God made woman,

he made them different, see?

And when they bin

find each other, they do this.

You never...

Well, I won't tell anyone, then.

Thank you, Uncle.

Willie, a virgin.

Willie's a virgin.

I can't take it anymore, Annie.

It's me or them.

Have you got another one of these?

Useless hippie.

Hello.

What kind of people

would leave folks lying out here

in the middle of nowhere, hmm?

The beginning

of a new life cycle.

Energy, happiness, optimism.
