The entourage disembarks while the 71 - year -
old Mitchell bumbles about on
board changing into an
old faded green shirt and jeans, more practical clothes for the hot,
dusty tour of his most recent property acquisition — the sprawling 177,100 - hectare Margaret River Station with its wide - open spinifex grass plains and rocky escarpments.
And with recent years seeing Hollywood take inspiration from such disparate properties as Battleship (out next year), Stretch Armstrong and Asteroids, it seems that the
dusty arcades of yesteryear are becoming as inspiring as
old board games and half - forgotten toys.
