Twelve American and British tourists go on a ten day guided tour of Australia at the height of the Bicentennial celebrations. What they discover about Aboriginal Australians shocks them and perplexes them. Twelve American and British tourists go on a ten-day guided tour of Australia at the height of the Bicentennial celebrations and are swept along in the tide of Australia's 200th birthday. The tourists provide an enthusiastic but captive audience to vignettes presenting the richness of Australian culture - the sheep stations, the War Memorial, koala spotting, and the vegemite song - all delivered with aggressive hospitality by their Australian tour guides. In Central Australia the tourists visit a traditional Aboriginal "camp" and it is here that careful stage management fails. This is not what the tourists expected. Behind this version of "the noble savage" they see only sadness and injustice.
