- <p> Hawaii was never like this. In the Australian Outback for
- his latest film in what he calls "life after Magnum," Tom
- Selleck first mastered the lariat, then had to lasso a
- kangaroo. He did both admirably. "No tricks," he told director
- Simon Wincer. "No doubles. And a real kangaroo." In Quigley
- Down Under, Selleck plays a 19th century rifleman who comes to
- the defense of the aborigine. Learning the ropes was easier
- than getting a grip on the language to converse with the
- aboriginal extras on the set. After "Hello" and "Where's the
- water hole?" Selleck was just about speechless.
