Screenplay
In 1978, the book was adapted for the screen in a film of the same name. The film version was written and directed by Donald Crombie for whom it was a labour of love.
The movie was budgeted at $767,000 but went $800,000 over. It was filmed in May through to July in 1977.
The film was a disappointment at the box office. Crombie later said he thought it was five to ten minutes too long, and suffered from being released soon after The Mango Tree, another coming of age period movie set in Queensland, when there was a backlash against period films.
