A small town shearer incapable of change, falls in love with an Italian backpacker unable to settle down, struggle to stay together as their love florishes.

When a small town shearer incapable of change falls in love with a european backpacker unable to settle down. He must fight to keep her, only to realise must go out in to the world to really find her.

Hmm. What about binding him to the land with the yoke of responsibility and the tether of heritage? That is, his folks are getting on in years, becoming more dependent on him to do the hard labor needed to keep the farm going? And it's been in the family for 4 generations, ever since they immigrated to Australia from Ireland; he's either the only son or the only one with the smarts to run the farm, keep the land in the family. He can't just abandon his family and heritage to follow a whimsical dream?

Or can he? Must he?

Hi DPG, That's correct on both fronts. Robbie fears failure of leaving a small town, He has a secret passion for photography, which plays a big role later on in the film. but he covers the fear up with excuses such as, "You have to be really good to make money with photography" "I have to stay here and provide for Mum and Dad" "the rest of the town will think I'm stupid or soft"

Caprice I'm still ironing out the reason why. She just doesn't see herself settling down any time soon. I'm thinking that its because she isn't sure what she wants as an end goal.
