Factual error: The aboriginal boy gets upset about the white hunters shooting the water buffaloes which symbolises white man encroaching into aboriginal culture. But the water buffaloes are introduced pests in Australia and have no spiritual meaning to the aboriginals.
Plot hole: It doesn't make sense that Mary is English with a heavy English accent, while both her brother and father are obviously 'Aussies'. Even if she was adopted to an Australian family, she wouldn't claim to be English, she would be a naturalised Australian.
Visible crew/equipment: When the aboriginal tribe were gathering around the burnt out VW, in one shot, you can see a white man in the background with dark body paint to make him appear to be an aboriginal.
Visible crew/equipment: Towards the end of the film, when the girl is pouring water over her brother, the overhead mic is in shot at the top of the screen.
Suggested correction: At no point is a microphone visible in that scene. At least, not when properly cropped for widescreen.
It's when the boy says, "It's lovely and warm, he didn't say goodbye to us," while his sister pours the first container of water over him. My copy was originally videoed from the TV in the 1980s, so the mic might have been "airbrushed" out in later copies.
More likely, your copy was broadcast full frame. The image was meant to be cropped at the top and bottom when shown in theatres.
