Walkabout (1971) is an Australian adventure film that tells the story of 2 white children who are abandoned in the Australian Outback and who are helped to survive by an Aboriginal teenager.

Girl (Jenny Agutter) and her young brother White Boy (Luc Roeg) live in Sydney with their parents. One day their father drives them into the Outback on the pretence of having a picnic. Their father pulls a gun and fires at the children. After the children flee, the father sets the car on fire and shoots himself.

By the middle of the next day, the children are weak from walking and lack of food. After they are discovered by an Aboriginal boy (David Gulpilil), the 3 travel together with Black Bloy sharing kangaroo meat and teaching the white children how to find water.

The white children survive. Black Boy doesn’t.
