Iconic Australian documentaries by the Leyland Brothers and John Doyle and Tim Flannery, these are must-sees for Lyrebird Festival guests to provide context for two of our Conversations.

Produced 40 years apart, both of these journeys along the Darling River provide sobering insight into degradation of major river systems, with a bit of dry humour and banter for good measure.

There will be two screenings of these films; Friday's screening is free, and Sunday's screening is included in the Day Festival Pass for Hub events.
