In Broome, Western Australia in 1969, teenager Willie Johnson (Rocky McKenzie) struggles to woo Rosie (Jessica Mauboy) – and then his mother packs him off to boarding school in Perth to continue his education and become a Catholic priest. After getting into mischief and running away from school, Willie finds himself on a wild road trip back to Broome with two hippies (Missy Higgins, Tom Budge) and ‘Uncle’ Tadpole (Ernie Dingo).
Accompanied by the joyous sounds of country gospel, with plenty of Broome-style Broadway dancing, this coming-of-age story based on the 1990 stage musical celebrates the adventure of finding your way back home.
