As such, different countries the world over have been able to explore Western stories in their own fascinating and unique ways, with Australia’s “meat pie Westerns” producing many underrated gems that are outstanding exponents of the genre.

5 'The Tracker' Director: Rolf de Heer Close One of the most thematically loaded Westerns to come from Australia, 2002’s The Tracker interweaves notions of colonialism and oppression with a simple yet effective story about judgment and justice.
