Description

Foreigners in Oztralia is an Australian farce that highlights the unique spirit of Outback Aussies, cultural differences, and the hilarious misunderstandings that occur when worlds collide.

It’s a holiday from hell when Anita and Frederick Higginbotham, an upper crust couple from England, visit the Outback for a taste of the real Australia, as portrayed in the travel brochure. The shock of outback living proves too much for them when they touch down, in the sticks, in 42°C heat, greeted by clingy flies and no mobile service.

Their culture shock reaches new heights when they meet their laid-back hosts, Bazza, Shazza, and their six lively kids, who educate them about Australia’s native animals and the reality of Outback life.
