On Shifting Sandshoes: An In Tents Experience (Picture Plays)

Every year a group of friends go camping on North Stradbroke (Mingerriba), an idyllic island only twenty kilometres off the the Queensland coast near Brisbane. Evert year from Christmas to New Year's Eve they have a fabulous time, cavorting in the surf, playing bastard ball, eating, drinking and celebrating another year gone. In 1988 however they encounter a massive cyclone which not only wrecks and floods their campsite but soon sees them cut off from civilisation and virtually running out of food. As things go from bad to worse prior deceptions are revealed, new passions are ignited and relationships rapidly fall apart. Even magic mushrooms are mistakenly eaten causing more chaos. At the climax of their descent into madness a rare local animal is destroyed. At which point the storm seems to abate. But by the end of the week they leave the debris of their camp knowing full well that such a reunion will never happen again.
