Here's my inner bogan surfacing for a moment, pretending to be all arty.

Behold, the opening chase scene of Mad Max, marketed in USA as Road Warrior (the movie that made Mel Gibson famous, but don't hold that against it). To the degree that there is a "classic scene" of Australian cinema, I reckon this is it. Low budget, high impact.

The full scene is almost 10 minutes, but the first 1.50 makes a good sampler.
