	Walkabout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alternate meanings: Walkabout (film), Walkabout (Babylon 5 episode), The Walkabout (pub chain), Walkabout (Lost episode)
		Walkabout refers to the belief of non-indigenous Australians that Aborigines were prone to "go walkabout" (a pidgin or perhaps quasi-pidgin expression) meaning that they would stop doing their jobs and wander through the bush for weeks at a time.
		This has lead to a jocular modern usage, whereby someone who has unexpectedly wandered off to destination uncertain is said to have 'gone walkabout'.

	Review: Walkabout (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Walkabout is the story of two children -- a teenage girl (Agutter) and her 7-year old brother (Roeg's real-life son, Lucien John) -- stranded in the Australian wilderness.
		He's on his "walkabout" -- a several months' journey across Australia where he must survive off the land -- but the end of his odyssey is something that neither he nor his two white charges could have anticipated.
		Walkabout is about the never-ending conflict between civilization and nature, and how the two constantly work to destroy one another.

		As with all Barry scores, WALKABOUT has a stunning main theme which is given several readings throughout the score, mainly played on strings and winds.
		WALKABOUT is not without its share of variations on the traditional Barry scheme.
		With WALKABOUT being so short (27:17), Silva and Raine decided, like with their release of ZULU, to round out the album with themes and suites from various other Barry scores.

	Images - Walkabout
		Originally released in 1971, Walkabout provides few explanations that help us comprehend what we see on the screen as a girl and her brother become lost in the Australian outback.
		The story is deceptively simple: A girl (Jenny Agutter) and her brother (Lucien John) become stranded in the outback after their father drives them to a secluded rarely-traveled part of the country and then kills himself (not before firing a few gun shots at the children).
		He is in the midst of a "walkabout," as the pre-credits introduction tells us, which is a rite of passage for young Aborigine men where they must wander the countryside for months at a time, existing on whatever they can kill or forage.

	Walkabout
		So they go walkabout with the Aborigine for what must be months but, just like the characters, we are unable to gauge time.
		In a way the film marks the movement from conventional 'white' urban society to Australia's outback by creating this feeling of timelessness (the meaning of 'time' in the traditional Western sense is lost), or through abstracting time and taking on an eerie, eternal feeling of time and being.
		Walkabout is still striking today but must have been remarkably bold in the climate of its time - contrasting Aboriginal and Western perspectives on an equal plane.

		Walkabout was originially written in 1995 as an Inventor CAVE(r) program to investigate moving around scenes with dynamic objects (floating panels, elevators, escalators) etc to get some practice writing Inventor code in the CAVE.
		This is the front-end to walkabout, allowing you to set display properties (mono, stereo, screen size) as well as choose what scene to view, create a new scene file, make changes to the attributes in that scene file, and launch walkabout.
		Walkabout and front have been compiled and tested on a macintosh under OS-X, a Linux box with SUSE 7.1, Red Hat 7.3, and Red Hat 8.0, and most recently on windows machines running XP and 2000.

		Jeny Agutter is particularly good as the English girl who suddenly finds herself stranded in the desert with her younger brother, and was at just the right age--about 16--to play the part.
		David Gulpilil as the aborigine youth "gone walkabout" who rescues them is also excellent.
		The uncomfortable contrasts between European and aboriginal cultures are undeniably accurate, and the use of A. Housman's poem, "Into my heart an air that kills" adds additional poignance to the already bittersweet ending.

		In "Walkabout", a 19-year old Jenny Agutter and her kid brother are left stranded in the Australian outback when their father commits suicide on a family picnic.
		I will say this though, that while "Walkabout" is one of Roeg's most stunning movies, it isn't necessarily a film that you would want to watch over and over again.
		Whatever it is, I find Walkabout to be a unique and absorbing film that stands up to repeated viewings.

		In Australian aboriginal cultures, a "walkabout" is a ritual in which a young man goes on a solitary journey through the wilderness in an attempt to learn more about his own character and strength.
		Re: "Walkabout," thanks...of the final 5, it's not at the top, but it ain't bad.
		Initially we'd wanted to put Walkabout in first, but that would have meant airing only WWE1 in that sweeps period, and having to wait until the fall for part 2, which seemed not only excessive but remarkably stupid.

		With all of the current attention being focused on the Australian outback, it seemed a perfect time to address a little film called “Walkabout” that was written and produced by Nicholas Roeg.
		Second movie of director Nicolas Roeg, WALKABOUT is a rather pessimistic description of the cultural gaps created by our civilization.
		The perfect and stunning cinematography is perfect, and I don't agree with Mit's statement that says it would have lost nothing if it were a silent film.

		Fortunately their desert survival skills become unimportant after they meet a young Aboriginal man (David Gulpilil) on his walkabout, which the film explains is the Aborigine passage to manhood.
		The man’s knowledge comes entirely from experience, and the experience of the hundreds of generations before him, and is perfect for the environment; how to hunt a kangaroo, how to start a fire, how to find water.
		While Roeg may not have succeeded at the double-sided analysis of culture’s bindings, Walkabout does capture, in its landscape and its characters, the mystery of communication—visual and verbal.

		Walkabout only covers about 27 minutes, the rest of the tracks are from various other movies...the main focus of course is on Walkabout and deservely so because it has never been released.
		Walkabout was a movie that glorified in visual beauty and it would seem like a hard task for the music score to compliament the visual aspect of it, considering there is very little narrative but surprisingly it does a fine job.
		I loved the movie, so when I stumbled upon the Walkabout c.d in the soundtrack section...I had to have it, and I don't regret having to pay a little extra for it.
