Anecdotes
The picture was a commercial failure at the Australian box-office. According to the Oz Movies website, the movie "while doing a million plus in revenue was better than many 10BA films at the time, relative to budget it was inadequate, and the film became notorious in the media as a prime example of a 10BA film with more ambition than audience (just like the other big budget Edgley [Michael Edgley] production about failed explorers Burke & Wills [Burke & Wills (1985)]). The film's commercial reputation as a disaster zone was reinforced by its failure to travel internationally, with only a limited release in the United States, and limited interest in other territories".

One of the Aussie classics

Ahh Australian cinema. We're a unique breed down these parts, with a unique culture and sense of humour. Hardly understood by the rest of the world I think it shocks us more than it shocks them when an Aussie movie is a world wide hit (Priscilla perhaps?). As it's such a rare occurrence, Australian cinema has many little known classics that mean a lot to us but would leave pretty much everybody else scratching their heads. I think this is most likely one of those movies.

That's not to say that Coolangatta Gold isn't a good movie in it's own right. The engaging story, the themes of family and maturity, a journey into adulthood. Coolangatta Gold is an inspirational film and covers a lifestyle that will always be a large part of Australia's identity.
