The 1971 Australian one-sheet poster for the original release of Wake in Fright.

Cast in orange tones, it features an illustration of four men and a woman waiting on a railway platform, holding beer cans and guns. Superimposed above them is John Grant carrying a suitcase and gun.

The tagline reads: 'Outback. Have a drink, mate? Have a fight, mate? Have a taste of dust and sweat, mate? There's nothing else out here.'
