Specialist note

Aboriginal actor/dancer David Gulpilil, famed for his starring role in the 1971 film Walkabout, features in this photograph as the iconic sun-bronzed Aussie, relaxing witha stubbie in one hand on his shiny (probably) hotted-up car listening to his ghetto-blaster at Bondi Beach. There is no irony spared by Moffatt in this work.
