Ken Wallin's Top Twelve Australian Films

Long time Sydney cinephile Ken Wallin has responded to my still open general invitation for people to send in, for publication, their lists of the best ever Australian films - no limits applied. Earlier lists include  that of another legendary Sydney cinephile  Bruce Hodsdon  

Ken writes: My top 10 Australian films at last:
