# Have a drink, mate? Have a fight, mate? Have some dust and sweat, mate? There's nothing else out here.
π Overview:
A schoolteacher, stuck in a teaching post in an arid backwater, stops off in a mining town on his way home for Christmas. Discovering a local gambling craze that may grant him the money to move back to Sydney for good, he embarks on a five-day nightmarish odyssey of drinking, gambling, and hunting.
