Shark Bay

Spoof soap opera roughly based on Home & Away with a touch of Sons & Daughters, that funnily enough seems to have recruited their cast from there as well. Rowena Wallace plays an evil bitch again.

Spider & Rose

Australia, Film, 1994

One of my all time favourite films this, a road movie where a young ambulance driver and an old woman he is taking home from hospital for her birthday antagonise each other but finally start to understand where the other is coming from.

Bob Baines appears as Ambulance Officer Muggleston in silhouette over the end credits as he is arguing with the younger ambulance driver.
