Wiki.
Dad and Dave: On Our Selection is an Australian comedy film, based on the characters and writings of author Steele Rudd. It is set in late nineteenth century colonial Queensland, but largely filmed in Braidwood, New South Wales. The stories of the Rudds have been previously adapted for radio, television, and film (with this adaptation being a remake of the 1920 version). Geoffrey Atherden contributed to the screenplay with George Whaley, the latter of whom directed. This film featured numerous well-known Australian actors, such as Noah Taylor, Ray Barrett, Essie Davis, Murray Bartlett, Celia Ireland, Barry Otto, Nicholas Eadie, and future Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush (reuniting with co-star Taylor in 1996's Shine) as the titular endearingly blundering son, Dave.
"Dad" and "Mum" Rudd were played, respectively, by veteran actor Leo McKern and opera singer Dame Joan Sutherland, in her only feature film role. The theme music was sung by Australian country musician John Williamson.
