Two Hands (1999), an early Heath Ledger effort, is worth watching once, too.
Until I reached adulthood, probably the only "Australian" film which I, or most other Brits, had heard of was The Overlanders 1946, although it was actually made by the English Ealing Studios. It was not very good, though no worse than the similarly themed Australia (2008) (made on a huge Hollywood budget with major stars in the lead). The earlier film was surely the source of many stereotypes.
