Babakiueria (also known under the video-title Babakiueria (Barbeque Area)) is a 1986 Australian satirical film on relations between First Nations Australians and European settlers.
Babakiueria revolves around a role-reversal, whereby it is Fist Nations Australians who have invaded and colonised the fictitious country of Babakiueria, a land that has long been inhabited by white natives, the Babakiuerians.
The opening scene depicts a group of Fist Nations Australians in military uniforms coming ashore in a land they have not previously been to. In this land, they discover a number of white people engaged in stereotypical ‘European Australian’ activities. The First Nations Australian explorers approach the group and the expedition's leader asks them, "What do you call this place"? One of the Europeans replies, "Er... 'Barbecue Area'".
