Abstract

The roles of landscape and location, and myths of paradise are examined in a range of films that were either made in Queensland or that feature Queensland as a 'narrative place', in particular, Travelling North, Radiance, The Proposition and Nim's Island.

Drawing on a range of representations, Allison Craven examines the significant role of landscape in deriving narrative places in Queensland and explores the state's most enduring mythic association.
