National Identity. Australia.
OK we've done the music scene let's try that other moulder of pop culture, cinema. If a Thai (or any other nationality for that matter) asked you to explain what it was to be Australian and all you had to work with was a DVD player and a few hours what would you put in the player?
Honourable mentions for TV shows as well.
Remember ... movies that give an insight into what it means to be 'Australian' not just your favourite Aussie movies
For me.
Bliss, based on the Peter Carey book
Sunday too Far Away.
Priscilla Queen of the Desert
Idiot Box
OK I'm coming up blank....
BTW a dozen reds for the first idiot to post Crocodile Dundee II
