Friday night... too tired. Saturday night... too drunk. Sunday... too far away.

Jack Thompson is Foley, the best shearer on every station for miles around. Sunday Too Far Away is Foley's story of sweat-soaked days and rum-soaked night, of bloody two-fisted punch ups... of scab labour brought in during the shearers strike of '56 and of the poor old bastard who runs the place: the cocky (farmer) who is terrified that one slip of the shears will render his prize ram good for nothing but mint sauce.Sunday Too Far Away is a classic of Australian cinema and Jack Thompson at his best.
