Bran Nue Dae, the movie

In the Summer of 1969 a young man is filled with the life of the idyllic old pearling port Broome - fishing, hanging out with his mates and his girl. However his mother returns him to the religious mission for further schooling. After being punished for an act of youthful rebellion, he runs away from the mission on a journey that ultimately leads him back home.

Quirky and cheerful, watch it!

 

The Mighty Pie

     Pies would probably have to count as Australia's national dish. I'm not sure if we even have a national dish here down-under, but the mighty pie has to be it I reckon. They are so good and tasty and smell like an old-fashioned home cooked meal. They are a meal in itself. I love the chunky steak one, topped with mashed peas. Awesome! Chicken and mushroom is another favourite. Seppe grabs a plain pie, with mince. Jazzie a curry and a beef one. Tom a Ned Kelly and beef and bacon pie.  There is many, many more flavours. Each shop has their own special pie.  In pubs often served with mash and gravy. The mighty pie is as good as it gets. When pies are eaten silence triumphs.

Pie

The taste of a pie,
So deliciously tasty!
The taste of a pie,
So light and crumbly the pastry.

So come have a pie,
I guarantee you'll enjoy it.
So come have a pie.
You'll become addicted.

The look of a pie,
So tender and juicy.
The look of a pie,
Just makes me go loopy!

So come have a pie,
I guarantee you'll enjoy it.
So come have a pie.
You'll become addicted.

The smell of a pie,
So delectably nice.
The smell of a pie,
Much better than rice.
