Emma Hamilton


Once she appeared in the film, as the barmaid in the tavern where Rex and Tilly stopped for a beer, I couldn't take my eyes away from her. She's a real Aussie beauty.

Spoiler here: It seemed a bit contrived when she quit her barmaid job because Rex had fallen suddenly ill, and decided to go off on the journey with Rex and Tilly. Even though she said it was out of her obviously caring for Rex and his situation, adding that she was a trained nurse, that just seemed tacked on as a plot device. And then, unbelievably, she fell straightaway into shagging Tilly in the back of Rex's cab. That was a plot device too far, another contrivance in the story, not because he was half aborigine and there was all the Aussie prejudice against "black fellas," as Tilly called them. I think it was more that I was jealous. She was luscious in my eyes.
