EnhanceTV :: Study Guides :: Road To Nhill

Road To Nhill

Road to Nhill is relevant for students and teachers of English, Drama, Media Studies, Australian Studies and Studies of Society and Environment at the secondary school level.

Road to Nhill tells the story of what happens when four lady bowlers are involved in an accident on a country road on their way home after a day's bowling in Quambatook. Margot (Lynette Curran), Carmel (Lois Ramsey), Nell (Monica Maughan), and Jean (Patricia Kennedy) are trapped in the car when it flips over.

From here there is a great deal of confusion around town. No one knows for certain who is in the car, how bad the accident is, or where it is. The ambulance goes out one road, the fire truck goes out another and Bret (Matthew Dyktynski), the local policeman, who is otherwise preoccupied, almost misses the whole thing. Husbands of bowling ladies go in all directions in search of their wives. Helpful (or not so helpful) passers-by take the women involved in the accident in other directions. Everyone has a different version of the events. Maurie (Paul Chubb) thinks he has sorted it out, Bob (Bill Hunter) thinks he has got it straight, although his wife Gwen (Denise Roberts) thinks otherwise. Eventually everyone is back in their right place and harmony returns to the town. The emergency is over. Life returns to normal - almost......

The director, Sue Brooks, says that 'ROAD TO NHILL tells a story about fate. This is a warm laconic story with a real sting in its tail. I like the heart of the film. Mum used to often say 'his or her heart is in the right place' and that was always enough said. I think ROAD TO NHILL's heart is in the right place. I hope people can enjoy it for that.'
