		Ocker Socio-anthropological documentary Subject: Social sciences; humanities; character studies; socially lower strata stereotypes; Australians of European descent Created: 1974-1977 Unpublished Ocker is an Australian vernacular - used as noun, adverb and adjective alike - signifying the most basic characteristics and demeanour of socially lower strata, stereotype Australians of European descent. The Ocker is part of both the nation's social history and presence and contributes a healthy earthiness to the fabric of Australian society. It is this that Kay is bringing across in his series of photographs - truly ocker. In the widest sense, the nearest equivalent to Ocker would possibly be Cockney with its intrinsic values and language, and peculiarities.
