Are you an Afghan?

No.

My family are from India.

Do you live here?

In town? Yes. I work with

the Flying Doctor Service.

Do you fly planes?

No. I'm a doctor.

Do you think you could

fly somewhere to help someone?

Hello.

This little chap was a bit worried

about someone who's hurt.

Max, is it?

Are you Max?

Where's the keys?

Where's the f***in' keys?!

Unlock the car and put

our stuff in. And get that sh*t off!

F***in' do it!

I'm hungry.

Yeah, well, there's a store

somewhere along here.

Me and my dad used to come out here.

Except he left me out here

on me own once -

you know, to teach me a lesson.

And I had to walk all night and day

before I found someone.

Didn't he want you?

No. I was just a nuisance to him.

Right. That'll do it.

$125.

Oh, come on, lady.

It can't be that much.

$125.

Well, I've only got 90.

$89.20.

You little bugger.

I need to go to the toilet.

No, not here, mate.

Why?

Oh, 'cause we're Butch and Sundance.

Who?

Hey, give us a hand, mate.

Get some firewood.

Chooky?

Look. It's gravity

that holds the tea in.

No, it's wind.

What do you mean "wind'?

Well, when it goes across,

the wind goes like that

and you make wind.

I think you're just makin' that up.

Well, it's not wind but it makes

a sort of a lid made out of wind

to keep the water in.

Ya!

What you doing with that?

Playing Snake.

Doesn't work out here, does it?

Come on in, mate.

Oh, come on, you wuss.

Come on, mate.

Are you sure you don't wanna?

Uh-uh.

No? Not even for me?

No!

Aaagh!

Don't! Stop, Dad!

- Ready to swim?

- Aaagh! Aaagh! Don't!

Dad!

- I can't swim!

- What's that?

I can't swim!

- Best way to learn...

- Aaagh!

Come on! Swim, mate!

Swim, swim! Swim!

There you go.

Your first swimming lesson.

Oh, f***.

G'day, there.

G'day.

Hey, go get some more wood

for the fire, mate.

That's why we're here.

You can't have a fire, mate.

And you can't camp here either.

Oh, sorry, bro.

Like, I didn't realise.

Alright?

I've been coming out here since

I was a little kid, you know, and...

...like, we need to cook and keep warm.

It's a national park now, mate.

Yeah, I know. Good thing.

If you was in a camping area,

then you could have a fire.

Yeah, but, well, I...

I hate wakin' up and seeing

other people's f***in' washing.

You know what I mean?

And, um, I want him to have,

like, a real bush experience.

One night, OK?

Yeah? That'd be great.

How about a brew...

cup of tea, before you go?

Yeah. Why not?

Unc? Cup of tea?

No, you gotta go, "Bzzz!"

And... together.

You go...

Can't he speak?

Yeah. Course he can.

Just chooses not to.

Too much jibber-jabber

humbug, eh, Uncle?

I'm a blackfella too, sort of.
