Alice is a city at the center of the continent, and from here we leave towards the Simpson desert, where Molly is living: Molly is an old pioneer of the colonization. We continue to Ayers Rock and there we meet Billy, ninety years old, chief of the local aborigenes. At Kings Canion, Jimmy shows us how the aborigenes feed on herbs and capture the animals. Along the road we meet unusual animals, like the giant crocodile and the molok.

They call it the sunny state: the Queensland. Infact the Queensland extends from the Capo York, strong and wild , inhabited by the Aborigenes and some white ranger, in a uncontaminated nature, to Cairns, the capital of all the excursions to the Great Barrier. We meet the real Crocodile Dundee, who lives with his wife and his son in a lonely and wonderful island, hunting only fishes and lobsters. On board of a little train we cross the Savnnah Gulf and with the rangerse we visit a gorge (a canion full of water) and the "lavalava tubes", queer undergound ducts excavated by the incandescent lava.

An intact Aborigine reserve, an oasis where sea eagles, varani and millions of ducks and geese live. In the lagoons and billabongs the crocodiles find abundant food in the form of fish, like the magnificent barramundi and flying fish trampolieri like the jabirù. A type of incredible country portrait is captured by the camera of Max Davidson, manager of the vast territory around Mount Borredaile, a countryside that lies between mysterious pathways and trails and strange cathedrals of rock lost in the forest.

This documentary is the report of the quadriennial meeting between groups of dancers, coming from the whole Australia in the little village of Laura (Queensland). A kermesse lasting two days, where the spectators are all aborigenes, relatives and teachers of the protagonists, often very young. It Eâ uno spaccato senza retorica sulla voglia di conservare una cultura troppo strumentalizzata a fini economici. Nessun'altra troupe italiana lo ha mai documentato.
