Set in far outback Queensland in the '60s, an unlikely friendship forms between two women of wildly different temperaments.
Vicki is a submissive housewife and conforming Catholic, forever awaiting the arrival of her itinerant bulldozer-driving husband. Into her small-town existence comes Rae, a brash, lusty and hardliving barmaid, abandoned on the roadside by her rodeo-riding husband of five weeks.
Together they grope their way through the confusions of the not-so-swinging sixties towards independence, dreams and the songs of Hank Williams and Patsy Cline.
