A Bush Mechanic is someone who fixes his car using wood, tin, or whatever else is on hand to keep his car on the road. In Bush Mechanics - The Series viewers get to see five bush mechanics in action as they travel across the desert and the outback on their various adventures. In each of the four episodes the young Aboriginal men face a different set of problems, from struggling to get their new rock band to a gig, to recovering a stolen car, or travelling west in search of rain. Along the way their clapped-out cars need regular imaginative repairs. Combining adventure, magic, realism and a distinctive brand of humour, the series provides an insight into both contemporary and traditional Aboriginal culture as well as plenty of laughs. Bush Mechanics is also available on VHS. Bush Mechanics - the Series, ABC Video 2003 |
