We of the Never Never is a 1982 Australian drama film directed by Igor Auzins and starring Angela Punch McGregor, Arthur Dignam, John Jarratt, and Tony Barry.

Her husband and the other white men treat the local people (and Chinese workers) as inferior, often regarding them as lazy, indifferent and unreliable.

She is asked not to help a feverish dying man, to interfere with the balance of things or to give the Aboriginal people goods meant for the working men.

The stockmen, however, interrupt the "heathen" dance, shooting and shouting "God save King Edward".

Just when Jeannie thinks she is accustomed to life in the harsh outback, Aeneas also becomes feverish and dies, leaving her alone at the station.

The film was originally to have been written by John Dingwall but he did not get along with Igor Auzins and was replaced by Peter Schreck.

[3] John B Murray was replaced as producer by Greg Tepper, who had been the production manager for Fred Schepisi.

[1][2] Angela Punch McGregor later complained that only half of the script was shot: A lot of good action scenes were cut because of the restrictions on time and budget, much to my disappointment and anger then.

It features a simple but beautiful melody: part of a haunting score which is one of the best in Australia film history.

The DVD is compatible with all region codes and includes special features such as the theatrical trailer, soundtrack, an interview featurette, and a documentary.
