The Shiralee (1957) follows the journey of a wandering rural laborer, Macauley, who is often referred to as a "swagman" or "swaggie." His life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers his wife in a compromising situation with another man upon his return from a journey. Taking his young daughter, Buster, with him, Macauley embarks on a new path, with the child becoming his metaphorical "shiralee," a term that signifies both a physical burden and a deep emotional responsibility.
