Life at the End of the Rainbow

Life at the End of the Rainbow

"Life at the End of the Rainbow" is a 55-minute, 2002 documentary by filmmaker Wayne Coles-Janess about the small farming community of Rainbow, population 500, which lies on the edge of the Big Desert, North Western Victoria, Australia.

ynopsis

The area was originally considered worthless and was fenced off and abandoned. The town was established around the turn of the century, with German settlers. It then boomed with the soldier settler policies after the first and second World Wars. Rainbow and its people have struggled to eke out an existence for more than three generations, with global economics and government policy compounding the difficulties of marginal farming. The film uses home movies from the 1940s.
