The Naked Bunyip

The Naked Bunyip (1970)

The first serious study of sex in Australia (in a funny sort of way).

A shy young man is hired by an ad agency to conduct a survey on sex in Australia. The somewhat clueless young man investigates homosexuality, transvestites, prostitution, and strip clubs along with every other variant on the "norm". While doing his interviews he meets celebrities, self proclaimed sex experts, prostitutes, female impersonators, pop stars, actors, and legislators as well as self appointed morals guardians.

Production

Phillip Adams and John Murray decided to make the film after much study of the Australian film industry at the time. They noted the popularity of 16mm travel documentaries shown in public halls in the suburbs and the country. They decided to make a comic film about sex as the most commercial option. Finance was provided almost entirely by tyre dealer Bob Jane, and it was shot on 16mm.
