Bush Mechanics

Off beat, off track and online... go bush with the Black As boys as they venture into the wilds of Arnhem Land, hunting for adventure and a good feed.

In 1928, following the murder of a white dingo trapper, central Australia would witness the last known massacre of its Indigenous people. With over one hundred killed during a series of punitive expeditions, those who survived fled far and wide from the massacre sites. Denied a voice at the official inquiry and dislocated from their lands, the survivors passed down the story of this bloody episode to their children and grandchildren.

After their car shows signs of trouble in the middle of nowhere, four men must use their skill in 'bush repair' to make it back to town.

Inspired by the legendary live action series of the same name, Bush Mechanics is the story of four Warlpiri men on a journey to visit a powerful elder. As they drive across the desert they must overcome mechanical trouble and the tricks of a cheeky Munga Munga spirit. It will take all of their bush skills to keep their car running and themselves alive.

Looks at different aspects of Australian life, from country to city, from historical to contemporary, and from amusing to serious.
