Last Cab to Darwin
Rex, a Broken Hill cab driver, has spent his life avoiding getting close to people. Even his best friend and occasional lover Polly, who lives across the road, is kept at distance. One day, he discovers he is dying.

But on this epic journey he meets people who force him to reevaluate his life.
