Staying alive was harder than you think.

Overview
1975: A 200-ton blue whale gets washed up on a local beach and the kids think it’s the biggest thing that’s ever happened in Australia. Behind closed doors, the Mums and Dads of a quiet suburban street are going to celebrate in their own special way, by joining the sexual revolution and throwing a wife-swapping key party. And like the rotting whale, it’s all about to go spectacularly wrong.

Despite not being born until nearly 20 years after Swinging Safari is set, I can still confirm for you that a lot of the movie rang true for my own youth, I recognise a lot of my country in what was put forth here, and felt enriched for it. What I'm not too sure about though is how much Swinging Safari will ingratiate itself with people who aren't Australian, regardless of timeline. I'd be interested to hear the opinion of someone that fits that bill, because as much as I enjoyed it, I'm concerned that the appeal might not cross that barrier.
Also it really really seemed like Swinging Safari incorporated the Paul Jennings' story Greensleeves into its B-plot, but I can't find any credit to it which is unusual...
Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time.
