Deadly, Unna? is a 1998 work of teenage fiction and is Phillip Gwynne's debut novel.[1] Set in a small coastal town in South Australia, it is a rites-of-passage story about the interracial friendship between Australian rules football teammates Gary "Blacky" Black, a white boy, and Nunga Dumby Red. The novel is written from Blacky's point of view and covers the period leading up to the local football grand final and the summer after.
A film adaptation, Australian Rules, was released in 2002.
