Kangaroo is a 1987 Australian drama film directed by Tim Burstall and starring Colin Friels, Judy Davis, and John Walton.
In 1922, an English writer (Colin Friels) migrates to Australia with his wife (Judy Davis).
He managed to do it several years later, by which time he felt McKern was too old and instead cast Hugh Keays-Byrne.
He commissioned Evan Jones to adapt the script because he felt it needed an English writer.
The film was released through Australia-based Umbrella Entertainment on 8 January 2010 as an all-region PAL disc.
