This Friday, 22nd January, sees the UK release of 'The Boys are Back', a beautiful film based on the book of the same name by Independent journalist, Simon Carr. Whilst the film changes various details - relocating the story from New Zealand to Australia for one! - it doesn't lose any of the poignancy of the book.
The film charts Carr's life after losing his wife to cancer, with Clive Owen in the leading role as he portrays the true story of a widower's struggle to bring up his young son alone. Heartbreaking in places but also incredibly uplifting, the action is complemented by the spectacular scenery of South Australia - endless beaches, rolling hills, lush vineyards and the inquisitive wildlife... kangaroos were regular visitors on set!
If you're inspired by the film then why not incorporate some of the key filming locations into your own Australian adventure? Our team of Aussie Specialists can tailormake a South Australia itinerary to take in the best of the wildlife and outback for which the state is renowned, or you may wish to consider one of our holidays in this region such as our exclusive Southern Wildlife Wanderer or our Kangaroo Island Coast to Coast.
