American composer Basil Poledouris did the score. He also worked with director Simon Wincer on the 8 hour western miniseries Lonesome Dove, and did Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles with Wincer.

Poledouris had early contact with the Australian industry via Randal Kleiser’s The Blue Lagoon, which had involved some Australian crew and director Richard “Patrick” Franklin.

Poledouris is too well known to be listed in detail here. He has a quite detailed wiki here, and is well-represented on the internet.

The score for the film was released on CD in several versions. The re-release presented a comprehensive set of cues, and an earlier release contained a more limited number of cues.

The first volume that collected Poledouris’s film work didn’t contain Quigley, but gives a good idea of some of his other work.
