Jack Thompson will play cattle station book keeper, Kipling Flynn, and was quoted as saying, "He's very different to anything you have seen me play in the past. Baz has pushed me a little here and a little there, and we have created this extraordinary book keeper, a drinker who is somewhere between a total tragedy and a struggling spirit. There's a comic edge to him, too. It's been very exciting." Thompson also said, "Baz is attacking this film on a fabulous scale. Perhaps it will see a revival for the Australian film industry. I was talking to Hugh Jackman and I said I was amazed at the scale of the production and that I thought it would be a landmark Australian film. And he leaned over and whispered, 'Yeah. And you know what? We're in it'."
