"Australian Rules" (2003) is a story set in South Australia about two communities in conflict - the blacks and the whites. The only place where the rivalry and racism in the community is put on hold, is on the football field. Three teenagers, one white and the other two Aboriginal, are caught in the middle of the conflict. The music is a mixture of contemporary musical sounds and ideas with standard dramatic scoring effects. The score features lap steel guitar, drums, violins and cello and synthesisers, occasionally with some heavy driving music. Most of the music is by Mick Harvey, although additional music is composed by Matt Walker and Ashley Davies.
