'wake in fright' is my favorite movie. i wanted to pay tribute. this scene is one of my favorites. in this scene, john (gary bond) has just arrived in town for the evening, before he flies to sydney in the next morning. he meets jock crawford (chips rafferty) who is the local police chief. jock shows him a great amount of hospitality as he is an outsider to this small rural community and jack quickly learns how things go down in a tavern in 'the yabba'.

i had to acquire all the appropriate glassware. the first glass is called a 'middy' and is 285ml which is about 9.5oz. i got two of them from ebay for $27. expensive but the best deal i could find. they even had '285ml' etched into the bottom. the second glass is a 'nonick' pint, usually these are 20oz but mine is 16. not clear on what size they are on the film. the third glass was the hardest to distinguish. mine is a 12oz pilsner glass. i paid $1/ea for the nonick and pils glass at a thrift store, but it was 50% off day so i paid only 50 cents for each. i elected to go with paulner pils because i wanted something easy going. by all estimations they are drinking west end bitter in the film. RIP to chips rafferty and gary bond.
