Funny Things Happen Down Under is a 1965 Australian-New Zealand musical film directed by Joe McCormick.
When the owner of the property experiences financial difficulties and considers selling the barn, one of the children comes up with an idea to raise money.
The children dye sheep on his property and market the coloured wool as a naturally occurring phenomenon.
Two station hands, sympathetic to the plight of the children, decide to help by winning the remaining money in a sheep shearing contest.
[3] Filmink magazine said that Joe Latona's choreography for the film's finale featured "the campest dancing shearers in cinematic history".
