(Note: many databases use uncorrected data from the VHS release of the film. Murray's 1995 Australian Film noted that the cast credits were white against a bleached sky and on video were totally unreadable, and so the book took its credits from the Monthly Film Bulletin. The credits below are from the DVD release, which are more readable and so clarified some details regarding spelling).
