In 2009, the musical
Bran Nue Dae debuted in cinemas. Directed by Rachel Perkins, it featured local talent Rocky McKenzie, Jessica Mauboy, Geoffrey Rush, Ernie Dingo, and Deborah Mailman.
It’s a movie about love, family, and home but amongst the crazy dancing and spontaneous singing, there’s an iconic scene where Willie (McKenzie) and a drunken Roxanne (Mailman) end up at ‘the condom tree’. In the scene, the tree looks almost magical, with coloured condoms dangling off the branches like metallic lights. As a young teenager, I watched the movie thinking it was just a funny concept to help fill the scene.
