Kanopy Movie Club – Bush Christmas (1983)

Outback Queensland, the early 1950s. The Thompson family – struggling to keep their outback farm from foreclosure – place their financial hopes on their horse, Prince, a favourite to win the New Year’s Cup. Two horse rustlers named Bill and Sly steal Prince and make their way to a nearby mountain range to escape. However the thieves have underestimated the resourceful Thompson kids John and Helen (a 15-year-old Nicole Kidman in her film debut). Featuring music and a special appearance by popular Australian folk band The Bushwackers, BUSH CHRISTMAS is an Australian family Christmas classic.
