Set on one of the vast sheep stations in inland Australia, 1955, Sunday too Far Away is a classic of Australian cinema and is presented for the first time on DVD in its original widescreen aspect ratio along with some rare bonus archival material.
Jack Thompson is Foley, the best shearer on every station for miles around. and this is his story. A story of sweat-soaked days and rum-soaked nights, of bloody two-fisted punch ups...of scab labour brought in during the shearer's strike of '56 and of the poor old bastard who runs this place: the cocky (farmer) who is terrified that one slip of the shears will render his prize ram good for nothing but mint sauce.
