I am analysing Beneath Clouds within context to ‘Representing Australia’, and the key components relating to the text such as prejudice, racism and colonialism in Australia. In particular I will research the effects that colonialism has had on the new generation of Indigenous Australians . The text Beneath the Clouds; a journey of two teenagers in remote Australia, characters Lena and Vaughn are drawn together as their lives take the same path to Sydney. The debateable romantic relationship between the two is ambiguous, portraying an unspoken connection, with an approach toward aboriginal life, post colonialism, a colourful representation where I will also explore the effects of racism and prejudice from an adolescent standpoint. My research will focus on the

Don’s Party takes us back to 1969 to the night of the Labor Party’s victory as John Gorton was announced the new Prime Minister of Australia. This 1976 ‘ocker’ comedy was adapted from the play of the same title and filmed in Sydney. Philip Adams and Bruce Beresford joined forces to put one of the most evocative plays onto the big screen. These ocker films were introduced in the early 1970s and riddled with “swearing and course language, drunkenness, an obsession with bodily functions, beery mateship and the accompanying derision of women, anti-intellectualism and a violation of custom and ethnic/religious beliefs” (Murray, 1994). Don’s Party includes all of these elements, placing it up there as one of the cult Australian films simply for representing Australian’s as they were.
