Australian kids run away

Okay, so I used to have all these “family adventure collection” DVDs that came in sets of 8 and 10. For example, one collection features titles like “The Last Unicorn”, “Nico”, and “Witches”, as well as random one-offs that you don’t normally see advertised. Anyway, it was about 2018/19 that I watched it, maybe? The film is in color and English, pretty modern, and set in Australia. It starts in a school, and this classic bad boy is getting into a fight outside the front door. This classic good girl comes and tells them to break it up. You find out the girls parents are divorced (?) thinking about seperating (?) trying to work it out ish (?) there’s a scene where the dad plays a really pretty song for the girl on his acoustic guitar and he sings like her “lullaby” (she’s like 13 ish but it’s THEIR THING) and she falls asleep, anyway the boy runs away from home because he’s troubled so the girl follows him and it’s like classing ‘australian outback’ type stuff. Well, they get like horribly lost and they come across this crazy man who tries to kill the girl, and so the boy beats him up and they bond and decide to go home, but at this point, they’re lost, right? Well, anyway, during all that, the parents are bonding together to try and find the kids, the dad checks this like a washed-ashore boat he and the girl used to hang out at a lot, but they’re not there. Anyway, while the parents are trying to find the kids, they fall back in love, so that’s cool, and then the boy like realizes his parents really do love him and that he IS wanted/loved/cared about.
