This fish out of water love story always makes us feel nostalgic and sends us to the bedroom. From 17 years old to 55 now. Romance still alive. We fish, hunt, camp, cook, and drink together. Thank you for your reaction. Opposites seem to attract, then when you look closer, they were both survivors, each with their own skills. A love story for the ages.

    In the 1980's, Paul Hogan did commercials for the Australian Tourism Commission in an effort to get more people to visit and vacation in Australia.

      It shouldn't be so odd to me though ; I live in a part of Canada where the weather can be SO weird that we actually had one Christmas with warm sunny and dry weather (no snow at all as it all melted since it first fell in October), and several years prior to that, there was a vicious hail storm that dropped hail stones the size of softballs in the middle of summer - it was like having snowballs in July.

    I always like seeing Australian friends watch this movie for the first time. It's so simultaneously Australian and American. Just a cultural touchstone that created an iconic character. I'm not Australian, but as someone from the Appalachian mountains of the US who is subject to loads and loads of stereotypes by people who have never been there, I relate a lot to Dundee when he experiences all this ridicule from people in NY who know nothing about his culture but are all too ready to mock him. He has his own ways and sometimes they may be strange or not line up with the norm, but he's just being himself.
