Synopsis:

Forty years after legendary filmmaker John Heyer captured a uniquely Aussie adventure on film, we revisit the dusty outback once more as dedicated postman Tom Kruse returns the past and comment on the future of outback Australia. Exploring past endeavours and investigating significant changes across the decades, Back to the Beyond looks at the developing countryside; where the 300-mile track that was used by Aboriginal people trading between north and south became such an important lifeline to outlying cattle stations. An enlightening retrospective, John Heyer, Pat Jackson and Tom Kruse lovingly recount their work with amusing anecdotes and engaging honesty, providing a delightful companion piece to the seminal 1954 documentary.
