| Summary: | This film pays tribute to the last of Australia's drovers. Australia's last great cattle drive started in May 1988 with 1200 head of cattle on a journey from Newcastle Waters in the Northern Territory and ended 2000 km to the east in Longreach in September. This film is a celebration of the cattle drives that opened up the Territory and were a feature of outback life until the advent of road trains. A handful of drovers still operate today. One is Pic Willetts - boss drover on “The Last Great Cattle Drive”. This is a fascinating insight into the rugged characters that shaped Australia. A Film Australia National Interest Program.
