Long Gone Lonesome Cowgirls A small town, an unlikely friendship and Patsy Cline! Set in far outback Queensland in the late sixties, an unlikely friendship forms between Vicki and Rae, two wildly different women. They are united by their abandonment by the men in their lives and their passion for all things country and all things American. From this unlikely partnership comes a wonderfully bittersweet comedy where the women grope their way through the confusions of the notso-swinging sixties towards independence, buoyed by dreams and the songs of Hank Williams and Patsy Cline.
