'Adapted from D.H. Lawrence's story of love, violence and political intrigue, based on his personal experiences in Australia in 1922. 'Kangaroo' - the code name of the charismatic leader of a secret fascist army - brings all his dark power to bear to seduce the writer into embracing his ideas, but the writer and his wife find strength in their love reawakened in the exotic southern land.'

Compared on Morris West's novel, this screenplay by Tim Burstall and Ross Dimsey focuses more heavily on the question of land rights and the clash between Aboriginal and settler cultures (in the conflict between Lance Dillon and Mundaru) and pulls back on the romantic sub-plot between Dillon's wife Mary and local policeman Sergeant Neil Adams.
