  GEOG: The girl asks to be taken to the city of Adelaide, the children's destination in the novel. However, the city shown at the start and end of the film is clearly Sydney, which is several thousand kilometers (and two states) away from Adelaide.

Quotes

  The Girl: Please try. It's silly to give in now. It can't be much
further.
The Girl: Water. Drink. We want water to drink. You must understand!
Anyone can understand that. We want to drink. I can't make it any
simpler. Water. To drink. The water hole has dried up. Where do
they keep the water?
The Girl: Put your shirt on.
White Boy: He hasn't got his shirt on!
The Girl: He hasn't got a shirt.
White Boy: He can have mine.
The Girl: It wouldn't fit him.
The Girl: We're English! English, do you understand? This is
Australia, yes? Where is Adelaide?
White Boy: Ask him for water!
White Boy: I don't suppose it matters which way we go.
The Girl: We'll stay here. Perhaps the water will come back.
White Boy: Where from?
White Boy: Well, where are we now?
The Girl: I expect we're the first white people he's seen.
