Last Taxi To Darwin
« on: August 06, 2015, 12:56:52 PM »
Just came back from seeing the new Aussie movie, ‘Last Taxi To Darwin’.  What a brilliant movie.  Great Australian scenery and I am sure all travellers will recognise the locations and iconic pubs.  Another superb performance by Michael Caton as well from all the actors/actresses.  Do yourself a favour, go see it at the movies!  :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup:   Kevin

Brillient movie - took the missus and kids plus my parents to see it at the movies. Brought my old man a copy for chrissy... and unbeknown to me they got me a copy for chrissy for me too :)

One of those flicks like Red Dog, The Castle etc that are great Aussie flicks you watch over an dover and not tire of seeing.

Yep, a great Aussie movie. I've got it on DVD too.

Unfortunately, and rather ironically, the lead actress in this movie was refused a ride in several taxis in Sydney because she was an Aborigine
