The Sundowners - by Dennis

1960 Australian film starring Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr based on the internationally-known Australian book by author Jon Cleary. The Sundowners tells of a nomadic family struggle to survive as they travel across 1930s Australian Outback to pursue their dream of settling down on their own farm.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
I was thinking of calling it Australia but that's way too corny just like the movie! But the scenery was magnificent!
I am not a fan of Australian movies as they too often do not convey a true picture of Australia's character or culture.

This could be a scene straight from the new movie "Australia" which by the way, was a very good movie. Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman were the stars. This looks straight from that movie. I do slightly recall this movie too. By the way........great shot!

I love the picture and I think the sepia conversion suits very well!

The warm sepia tone implies the dry, baked terrain. I loved this movie when I was growing up and have never forgotten it. You've definitely done it justice with this shot. Excellent!

Excellent work Dennis, can feel the dry heat, the dust and hear the creak creak of the water pump windmill in the background

This life looks hard. I can understand how they had to struggle. Your photo reflects that very well.
