A riotous comedy of errors possessing elements of The Big Chill, Wake In Fright, and Lord of the Flies...A riotous comedy of errors possessing elements of The Big Chill, Wake In Fright, and Lord of the Flies. Every year from Xmas to New Years Day an group of friends go camping on North Stradbroke (Mingerriba) an Island paradise just 30k from the Queensland coast. Every year they have a fabulous time surfing, eating, drinking and playing 'Bastard Ball'. Unfortunately, this is the year of the Big Wet and their camp is soon wrecked and flooded by an intense tropical low. Their cars are ruined, leaving them stranded, the food is spoiled, and only beer is left to fuel their increasing stress at being cut off. As serious hunger kicks in, things go rapidly down hill. They mistakenly ingest some hallucinogenic mushrooms and in the fog of madness that follows a rare blue koala is impaled on a beach umbrella. When contact with the outside world is restored most of them resolve to return next year - knowing full well this will never happen.
