The Lure of the Bush

Hugh Mostyn leaves his family station in Australia for an education in England. Upon returning, he presents himself as a "gentleman" in a white suit and monocle. His efforts to work as a jackeroo are met with teasing from the station hands who mock him by pretending to hold him up as a bushranger.

As a silent film, The Lure of the Bush captures the cultural nuances of its time, providing insight into Australian life and values. The film's examination of social class and the bush lifestyle offers a unique perspective for collectors interested in early cinema and its portrayal of Australian identity.
