RED DOG Date: Friday 17 January 2014
Time: 6.30pm
Cost: Free
Rated: PG
Red Dog is a true story of a charismatic Kelpie who united a mining community in the North West in the 1970s and ‘80s. The movie was adapted from the novel of the same name by Louis De Bernières. The nickname Red Dog has been attributed to the red dirt of the Pilbara region and his travels which took him as far afield as Perth, Broome, Dampier and our very own home town Port Hedland. A funny and heart warming story that provides a glimpse into the tough conditions in the Pilbara in the 70s and good old Aussie mateship.
