- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Believe
- |

Even the Australians don't know how beautiful their own country is. Particularly where we were shooting 'The Straits.' Most of my stuff was done on an aboriginal settlement on the south shore, opposite Cairns, which I believe was the site where the last person was eaten in Australia.
- Feeling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
