The Furnace

There is a good movie coming on the screens soon call "The Furnace"
Set in 1897 Western Australia. To escape a harsh existence and return home, a young Afghan cameleer partners with a mysterious bushman on the run with two 400 oz Crown-marked gold bars. Together the unlikely pair must outwit a zealous police sergeant and his troopers in a race to reach a secret furnace - the one place where they can safely reset the bars to remove the mark of the Crown.
The Furnace is an unlikely hero’s tale, navigating greed and the search for identity in a new land. The film illuminates the forgotten history of Australia’s ‘Ghan' cameleers, predominantly Muslim and Sikh men from India, Afghanistan and Persia, who opened up the Nation’s desert interior, thereby forming unique bonds with local Aboriginal people.

Talking about movies wombat I see Zac Efron is currently filming the movie "Gold" here in Australia

The film is a thriller set against the harsh Australian elements. Zac and his mate stumble across the biggest gold nugget ever found before their greed takes over and things go south.
Directed, co-written by and co-starring AACTA Award-nominated actor Anthony Hayes, ‘Gold’ will stream on Stan later this year.

Watched the first episode of AFTERTASTE last night and was disappointed. Far too much foul language and silly plot. Another ABC fail.
