Cunnamulla
2000 · Film · documentary · 82 min
Directed by Dennis O'Rourke
Cunnamulla, 800 kilometres west of Brisbane, is the end of the railway line. In the months leading up to a scorching Christmas in the bush, there's a lot more going on than the annual lizard race. Here, Aboriginal and white Australians live together but apart. Creativity struggles against indifference, eccentricity against conformity.

Prohibition will lead to abuse of other drugs and empower local criminal elements.
Inhalants, petrol, glue, nitrous oxide. Whatever is available.
There are no opportunities in these places, people get fucked up to make life more bearable.
If you've never seen a remote town in outback Australia before, the film Cunnamulla (2000) is a pretty accurate representation. Might be a little dated but not much has changed.

The health of these communities is at serious risk when you force them in to using unregulated black market narcotics and cleaning products to get high.
