Outback Patrol is a 1952 documentary about the patrol of a policeman in the Northern Territory outback, Constable Robert Darkin, and the various tasks he must perform. The movie has since become a study text in Australian secondary schools.[2][3] Robinson said it "was a very successful picture."[4]
