With Charles and Elsa Chauvel.

Still in the buffalo land, Charles and Elsa make their last journey for us. They leave their vehicles behind and 'walkabout', filming in the swamps with an aborigine family, on whose hunting skill they have to depend for food. They show us something of the life of the aborigines in the exotic lagoons in the north of Australia.
