  • The original jewels of the Kimberley in Australia's far north west were the hardy pioneer cattlemen and women who crossed the continent with their herds to establish themselves as kings in grass castles.
    They were followed by gold prospectors and farmers who opened up the mighty Ord River irrigation scheme.
    The newest jewels are diamonds. They were discovered by the new prospectors and farmers who are now reaping rich rewards for the millions of dollars they spent prospecting for their jewels.

    Such a nice video! Wonderful way to present the Kimberley's. So motivating to check it out for oneself. Quite a proof that old movies like this can quite stand the ground to a lot of the mediatic stuff created nowadays (2018). In my opinion, it is not necessary to have all these special effects. The content is was makes it worth to present any region in a good way so that the impression is positive. Well done Jack Absalom and crew!

I think that I saw somewhere that the movie made it to the US but it was stopped soon after they were showing it because it scared people!
      I wonder if someone has uploaded it to CZcams? The movie trailer should be there!!!

      @@PeterMilanovski Wolf Creek is not a true story haha. Its loosely inspired by cases like Ivan Milat or Peter Falconio. Although Milat was in New South Wales and Bradley Murdoch killed Peter Falconio in the Northern Territory. Wolf Creek is a work of fiction other than the fact that back packers have indeed been murdered in the bush and the outback. Although neither real life case should discourage you from traveling to Wolf Creek, theres been a handful of backpacker murders over the last 30 years (more so in the 90s really) if anything your far more likely to get lost or breakdown and run into trouble that way, its about an 8 hour drive from the nearest big town or a 30 hour drive from Perth.

      I fully understand that the movie was just a movie and that's all it ever was, but I just love the stigma that the movie brought to it... Makes me wanna go there and buy the teeshirt "I survived Wolf Creek"... Would have been good tourism industry for the area..

    A meteorite comes in at an angle and would not leave a perfectly round crater., which would suggest a straight drop from a great height! Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
