Jeddas Rock

Colour film production came to Australia with the 1955 Charles Chauvel film Jedda, still one of the most debated films ever produced in Australia. It was a daring film, not only was it the first Australian produced film to be shot in colour but it was also the first to use Aboriginal actors in lead roles and the first to feature at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. Jedda's theme of conflict caused when an Aboriginal girl is separated from her culture is still prescient today and its representation of Aboriginal people is much debated.
This is the rock cliff that Jedda lept from at the end of the movie.
