Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: How to tie a knot

While Jessica struggles with a rope that she hopes to place around her horse Kip's neck, Jim easily forms a knot of his own and gently works his rope around the horse's head and neck. Jessica is suitably impressed, but this happy encounter is soon broken up when Mr. Harrison arrives.

2. Mr. Harrison is a seemingly hard-hearted entrepreneur who has made it his business to raise which sort of animal for human consumption?

Answer: Cows

Harrison is an American who transplanted himself to Australia, along with his brother Spur, in order to make his fortune. Luckily for Harrison, he was able to make it big in the cattle business. He and his brother Spur are both portrayed by Kirk Douglas in this film.

3. At the dinner table, Mr. Harrison dines with his daughter Jessica, his friends Clancy and Peterson, and a woman to whom he is related named Rosemary. What is her relationship to Harrison?

Answer: Sister-in-law

Rosemary is the sister of Matilda, the mother of Jessica. Unhappily, Matilda died while Jessica was still a baby, but Rosemary has remained with the Harrisons, living in their ranch home. Rosemary is a headstrong woman who teaches Jessica the elemental concepts of feminism, much to the consternation of her father.

4. The men are called together for a muster, but Jim is not included in the 'round-up'. What is the name of the man, in charge of the personnel at the Harrison ranch, who gives Jim this bad news?

Answer: Kane

Kane informs Jim that he will not be joining the rest of the men for this muster. The young lad is upset, but understands why he is being left behind. Harrison wants a dependable man to remain at the ranch to look after the 'women-folk'.

Answer: Beethoven

Specifically, Jessica plays 'Fur Elise', though the quality of her playing is such that her Aunt Rosemary describes it thus: 'Jessica, you're attacking that piece with all the sentitivity of a road mender.' Her playing improves after Jim makes a brief visit for tea.

Answer: False

Rather, it is Jim who suffers injury in the process. One afternoon, the brumbies cross the Harrison property, and Jim seizes the opportunity to go after the mob on Harrison's colt. Jim is thrown off of the horse, but fortunately the colt remains within the corral.

7. Does Mr. Harrison discover that Jim and Jessica have been attempting to break in his prize colt while he has been away?

Answer: Yes

Harrison notices several strange things about his colt, specifically a bruise on the foreleg, black soil from the bottom paddock in the hooves and a girth mark around the horse's belly. When Harrison confronts Jessica about this, she feigns ignorance, with Rosemary attempting to deflect Harrison's attention. Soon enough, Jessica owns up to her part in the situation, and she adds Jim's name. Harrison decides to let Jim go after he returns from gathering up the remaining loose strays from the muster.

Answer: Jim

Of course, Jim, her knight in shining armor, comes to her rescue. Jessica's horse Kip has not survived the severe storm that raged the night before. Happily, Jessica is safe and healthy, however. Jim and Jessica really start to fall in love after he rescues her from the cliff.

9. Jessica meets her Uncle Spur for the first time in the middle of the film. What item does Spur have in his home that initially connects him with Jessica's mother?

Answer: A photo

Much to Jessica's surprise, Spur has a photo of her mother in his home. Jessica soon learns that Spur and her mother had very friendly feelings towards each other before Jessica was born.

10. What does Spur feed to Jessica during her stay at his place?

Answer: Beef

In fact, Spur feeds Jessica some of the prime beef that her father raises. Jessica is happily amused by this, especially when she inquires about the 'H' brand on the cattle leg and is told by Spur that it stands for 'homeless'.
