Well, one key characteristic is the use of the Australian landscape as a menacing or eerie backdrop. The vast outback, for example, can be depicted as a place full of hidden dangers. Another is the presence of complex and often morally ambiguous characters. These characters might be haunted by their pasts or struggling with the harshness of the Australian environment. Also, themes of isolation are common, whether it's physical isolation in the bush or social isolation within a small community.
