Life in Australia SERIES
1966, Total Running Time 239 Minutes
Made by the Department of Immigration in the mid 1960s to entice immigrants from Great Britain, the Life in Australia series profiles 12 Australian cities and towns, showing everyday life for workers and families. Part travelogue, it promotes an idyllic picture of white, middle class life in Australia, touring points of interest around the towns, but the emphasis is on providing a visual record of “typical” daily life, from work and education to home and recreation.
