Full Moon Over Faulconbridge is about Australia growing up.

The story is a tapestry woven of the major themes of our time: man’s relationship to nature; the European impact on indigenous cultures; religion and spirituality in a modern world.

Each character represents a facet of Australia: apathy; suburban boredom; cultural cringe/inferiority; outdated colonialism; femininity; fear of anger; depression and mental illness.

Margaret, the ultimate disgruntled Aussie housewife, twisting her thwarted desire for love into a need to be powerful, famous and – oh yes – a Witch-Queen. She and her mother Agatha (who seems to Margaret to be trapped in a mirror) is the main villain.

Merv, Margaret’s husband, is chosen by the Rainbow Serpent to become the first Were-Kangaroo.

Bernard, part of the alternative community of the Blue Mountains, brought up motherless by monks in a temple of an unnamed Eastern tradition, needs to confront both his feelings of inferiority and fear of his extraordinary spiritual powers. His story is to find a way to use his gifts responsibly for the good of others. He is the hero - a sincere and dedicated man who stands for what he believes in.

Robyn, Bernard’s ex-girlfriend and a self-styled investigative reporter, is sucked into the madness of the happenings in Faulconbridge while investigating geological instabilities, and through her experiences is forced to re-examine both her spirituality and her feelings for Bernard, suppressed after an incident in their mutual past. There is scope here for a strong heroine, a hard-nosed woman who needs to soften and reclaim her femininity in order to become whole – as Princess Leia from the Star Wars series.

Sir Henry Parkes, an historical character presented in the form of a spirit, has to cope with the not-so-pretty legacy of white men in Australia and come to an understanding with the elders of the Dreaming. He represents the conscience of the nation, and his learning becomes our learning. This is where the story deepens and becomes a transformative experience for the audience, taking the film beyond simple entertainment.

Dave Kelly, 19th Century rascal train pirate turned Stygian guide of the Dreaming, meets two boys who teach him the value of living in the present and help him to get over the murder of his brother, the

reason for his sentence as the Death Train Conductor. Through Dave we arrive at a sense of awe at the scale of the ancient consciousness of the Dreaming, and learn that time and love heal even the deepest of grudges. The potential for Dave is to shape his dialogue and manner so that he becomes less of an archetype and more of a character in his own right.

Mick and Chris, irresponsible yet lovable ‘tweens, originally part of Robyn’s video crew, become lost in the bush, and dragged into the world of Dave Kelly, the Dreaming and Sir Henry Parkes. They become the catalyst for change, as their youth, exuberance and innocence cut through the hard shell of Dave Kelly and the narrow-mindedness of the dead Australian politicians. In the process they must mature, and learn to become leaders rather than followers.
