Learning on ScreenConiston Muster: Scenes from a Stockman’s Life
- Synopsis
- On Coniston Station, north-west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia, cattle are mustered and yarded. The lease is held by a European, but the stockmen are Anmatjara people, whose ancestral country includes Coniston. Their views differ on whose land it is and the roles of Aborigines and Europeans in stock work. The film is above all a sympathetic portrait of Coniston Johnny, the Aboriginal head stockman.
