This offbeat four-part series follows the exploits of the Bush
Mechanics as they travel through the rugged central region of
Australia. In each episode, the Bush Mechanics, from the remote
Aboriginal Warlpiri community of Yuendumu, are presented with a new set
of challenges - catching a car thief, getting a nephew out of jail,
racing to an outback rock concert, and traveling thousands of miles to
gather pearl shells for a rainmaking ceremony. As they traverse the
desert in their dilapidated vehicles, they solve multiple car problems
with wacky and inventive bush repair techniques.
BUSH MECHANICS 2: PAYBACK
The Bush Mechanics travel to Alice Springs to collect their nephew
from jail and wind up having their own brush with the law. Although
their nephew Walter has done his time in jail, he still must be brought
back to the community to face Aboriginal law. On their way home, the
Bush Mechanics try to appease an eerie nighttime spirit who visits
Walter in his dreams. As they approach their destination, the police
stop them and send half the gang back to jail for having unpaid
warrants for shooting cattle.
