Murbah Swamp Beer | Finalist of Tropfest Australia 2002

[@velociraptor5962]

This is still my favourite Tropfest video ever.

[@adrianantony1176]

Great story and film. Well told. Imagine how much footage would be available via mobile phones if it happened today.

"From all the stories I've heard, the guys from the rowing club did the best". Goes to a shot of 2 dudes literally titled 'The guys from the rowing club'. I feel like Australian humour is something like that of British humour but with a far more entertaining accent

[@TrickBroughton]

That was awesome, I'm very impressed with how an entire town mustered together to clean out the river. Thanks for lookin after the environment guys. lol, beer? What beer?

[@shearersboots]

Love it. Keep coming back...

[@stav1369]

Legends! One of the funniest true stories I have ever seen/heard

[@MikeyNSW1987]

Without a doubt the best Aussie film, even tops the castle

Great job Gary Doust. Has anyone got a copyright on "Murbah Swamp Beer" , surely some hipster boutique brewery could market that cool name, what would be it's qualities I wonder?

[@mellando9770]

I fucking love Murwillumbah.

[@undertheblade1]

LMFAO I remember that day. The old man got his mazda bravo full of beer too. I miss Murwillumbah My home town. But had to move away due to finding work else where and no work in my home town because businesses rather get out of towners then support locals.

STORY OF THE DECADE

[@BRUSHYSURFING]

a copy of that old old film about a boat that ran aground in Britain loaded with wiskey.

[@blownhemi]

Yep, unfortunately it's a law in NSW, and I think it's in a few other Australian states too.

[@murphy13295]

you kidding, free beer! Americans wouldn't go for it?? you kidding the diff would be we'd be fighting over it

[@johnobell149]

Theft by find? Really? WTF kind of law is this? A fantastic find which every way you look at it!

[@bamoida42]

"Theft by find[ing]" means that if you lose your wallet, then it still belongs to you and not the guy who picks it up. Which is really sensible if you think about it. In this case though, it was pretty safe to assume that the owner wouldn't want the bottles back. Good think the police also had some common sense!

[@888kabe]

get in there and steal it why u can lol

[@megr3666]

Great way to clean up the environment and waterways.🤷

[@ToyFlameThrower]

4th comment woo hoo
