violence
A boy puts a man into a submission hold and strangles him until he stops moving. A character is struck in the head by a boomerang. A boy punches another in the face during a scene of bullying, however, this lacks any aftermath detail.
threat and horror
Characters try to put out a blazing wildfire. A boy becomes unconscious after being bitten by a venomous snake. However, these scenes result in reassuring outcomes.
language
There is moderate bad language ('slut', 'whore') and milder terms such as 'shit' and 'bugger'.
discrimination
There is use of discriminatory language ('darkie'). References are made to historical racist government policies which separated families in an effort to "breed out the black". Discrimination is clearly condemned by the work as a whole.
injury detail
Blood drips from puncture wounds in a person’s hands during an implied scene of stigmata. There are burns across a boy's face and body, however, another character uses fantastical powers to heal the boy’s burns. There is sight of dead livestock and snakes, including a scene in which a sheep is slaughtered.
alcohol and smoking
A child secretly drinks a sip of alcohol, but regrets it.
