Synopsis

In the Australian Outback, the Carmody family—Paddy, Ida, and their teenage son Sean—work as sheep drovers and are constantly on the move. While Ida and Sean wish to settle down and purchase a farm, Paddy prefers to continue traveling. A sheep‑shearing contest, the birth of a child, drinking, gambling, and a racehorse all influence the ultimate decision.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
