Australia Movie Costume

[ARES GW]

Looking to put together HJ costume from Australia Movie. Hat Pants Shirts Necklace and Bracelets. Any info would be great, looking for hi-res shots and I have only found one image of the exhibit and it is too small to get any details on it.

Thanks!

Its a wife thing...:unsure she digs that rugged look..wanted to surprise her, but I have no idea where to look or how to look for these things meaning instead of looking for hat what type of hat and things of that nature....

The costumes are on display now in the Myer windows on Bourke Street Mall, Melbourne CBD (about 10 min walk from my office). I will bring my camera to work on Monday and if they are still there, I will get some photos.

Ares, I want answers to this one too!

I'm working with someone, have to wait two weeks though, but...working on the hat cords right now, the Bola cord and middle beaded cord.

I'll keep you posted.

The plaited belt is a very standard Australian country style belt.

Looks like Dr Jones lent him the holster.

THANKS TV8!!!.....looks like its all there except the bracelet that he wore..
Since I am clueless to these kind of things..what is that silver box thing on his belt? Is that for ammo and what are those white objects in the hat are they bone or something?

Looks like Dr Jones lent him the holster.

I guess given the time period of WWII the holsters would look similar.

No probs. I am pretty certain the tins are tobacco tins. I really don't know what is in the hat. They look a bit like shells or teeth or tusks. Perhaps wild pig tusks? Possibly shark teeth? Maybe just cuttlefish bone? There is plenty of that kicking around on the beach in Australia.
I will try to get out today at lunch again and have another look.

Had another look at the pieces in the hat. Still can not determine what they are, but they seem to have the surface shine of teeth or shells.

The boots look like "Ropers" similar to cowboy boots, but have the round toe and smaller heals. I've got a pair by Ariat, and they looks very similar.
