AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The paper discusses the making and reception of the popular film The Overlanders and its representation of Australia. It argues that the involvement of writer Dora Birtles led to more positive images of women in the bush than was common at the time, but also that the film provides more positive representation of Indigenous Australian than Birtles's later novelisation.
