Red in the Centre: Through a Crooked Lens

In 2009, Monte Dwyer set off on a lap of the country in his new bus Claude, to shoot half a dozen travelogues for Tourism Australia and a swag of character stories for the Australia Network. From Lake Eyre to the Kimberley, the Top End to the very tip of Cape York, Monte meets a circus of characters from bona fide UFO hunters to miners who use chooks to collect gold, as he travelled through northern Australia in a bus determined to break him. This is the video of the trip, and the companion piece to the book, Through a Crooked Lens. It's the Leyland Brothers meets Norman Gunston on a quest to discover a fast-disappearing Australia.
