- Movie Goof (revealing mistake): In an early scene, the Drover's truck is running beside some bounding kangaroos. The leg action of the kangaroos does not match the speed they are moving at - the swing backwards is stopping too soon.
- Movie Goof (anachronisms): Sarah mentions "a wonderful School of the Air" when discussing Nullah's future. A School of the Air is a method of education in Australia - essentially, a correspondence course - using shortwave radio (and, now, the internet) to teach children in the outback. For instance, the Alice Springs School of the Air covers over a million square kilometers. However, Schools of the Air did not come into existence until 1951.
- This film's opening prologue states: "After the bombing of Pearl Harbour on the 7th December 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy steamed south, unleashing their fire on Darwin, a city in the Northern Territory of Australia. 'The Territory' was a land of crocodiles, cattle barons and warrior chiefs where adventure and romance was a way of life. It was also a place where Aboriginal children of mixed-race were taken by force from their families and trained for service in white society. These children became known as the Stolen Generations."
- Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): SPOILER: Right at the end of the movie, when Nullah is about to go walkabout, in one scene he commits the cardinal sin of looking directly into the camera. Although it could be argued he's looking at Drover, but Drover's too far away beside a tree, and the angle of view is wrong.
