We of the Never Never is a 1982 Australian drama film, directed by Igor Auzins, based on the autobiographical novel We of the Never Never by Jeannie Gunn. It was nominated for five AFI awards and won one award for best cinematography.

Synopsis

The film focusses on the life of Jeannie, a woman from the upper classes of society, and her story of adapting to life in the outback of Australia. Following her marriage to Aeneas Gunn who has just bought a 1 million acre cattle station near Mataranka, called Elsey Station, Jeannie follows him from Melbourne in 1902. Some of the drovers were unhappy at first because they believed that the bush is no place for a white woman. As such, they were both wary of her and made fun of her when both her and her husband arrived. However, Jeannie was determined to prove them wrong.
