Australia, 1975. Wyong Place, a suburb of Nobbys Beach, is a world that revolves around surf mats, baby oil, boxed wine, and the newly-found miracle of Kentucky Fried Chicken. 14-year-old Jeff tries to find his feet in a world changing faster than his hormones as he deals with his crush on shy and sensitive girl-next-door Melissa. When the beach town suddenly hits the spotlight after the body of a 200-ton blue whale washes ashore, Jeff and Melly think it's the biggest thing that ever hit Wallaroo. Meanwhile, something else is washing up on the shores of Australia: the sexual revolution. As parents race to catch up to the changing world and city officials plan to be rid of the whale, it's only a matter of time before things go wrong.—Keith Hall
