518    Originally produced by National Film and Sound Archive of 
       Australia in 1990. 
520    At the top end of Australia is the jewel of the country's 
       national parks and the home of the Gagadju people. It is 
       called Kakadu. More than 100,000 visitors are drawn to 
       this magical place every year. Some come to look at its 
       beauty but others come to hunt its animals and dig up its 
       minerals. Bill Neidjie is a traditional custodian of this 
       land - a role passed down to him through countless 
       generations. In 1979 he gave the land to the people of 
       Australia. Kakadu Man is his story. A story that concerns 
       how strangers to his ancient land wanted to tame and use 
       it. Translated through the use of actors and puppet 
       characters, and scenes of Kakadu, the story unfolds into a
       sensitive and often humorous portrait, weaving together 
       the figurative and the abstract, the past and the present.
       Scenes of Kakadu National Park's birds and animals, gorges,
       rivers, billabongs and the people who live there are 
       combined with scenes about the way the puppets are created
       and the way they tell the stories of sacred Aboriginal 
       spirits. The message of this important documentary is of 
       vital concern to people everywhere. It is the message of 
       the great Mother spirit: "The earth she sick from mad 
       mankind. Read the land, listen to it. Only then will you 
       be free." A Film Australia National Interest Program.
