The Screen Guide

Set in 1937 this is the awe-inspiring story of the resourcefulness, courage and endurance of Bernard O'Reilly. Working on no more than a bushman's intuition, O'Reilly set out alone in the wilderness of Southern Queensland to locate a missing Airliner. With the official search happening 800 kilometres to the south near Sydney, O'Reilly finds the missing Airliner and becomes a National hero. A documentary on the first Australian aviation accident.
