A beautifully told story about loss, friendship & hope. See more 12/19/2021 For It's Time This Was A Step Into A New View Upon Environmental Care & Consideration. See more delysid d 12/17/2021 very impressed with this film See more 04/13/2021 A great family movie set in the beautiful Goolwa area of South Australia where pelicans fly free and the surf crashes on empty beaches. In this film, a boy's best friend is a pelican he rescued because his beach shack home is so isolated being distant from the nearest town, with access only by boat. A nice growing up film for all ages. Good acting and great direction, a well-made Ozzie film made in 1976.
