I was in primary school at old Jindabyne in 1954 I remember our teacher Mr Enright telling us about contour plowing and to this day I have never heard it mentioned until I came across this wonderful film. Thank you NFSA So glad people back then had the foresight to produce such gems a reminder for those of us still here how it was compared to how it is; thanks to NFSA for taking the time and effort to upload these films from the past I am 78 years old and for a few minutes I was 10 years old again, funny how the mind never forgets your youth.

Thanks for your comment. We have tens of thousands of films in the collection so not all of them have been scanned at higher resolutions yet. It may take a while! In the meantime here is a playlist of what we have uploaded in HiRes ua-cam.com/play/PLYjU0Xph-Gj7nutLAwy1S5wyzznq94pug.html
Bring back this simple life 🙏

You're very welcome William. Thanks for letting us know you enjoyed the film.
I can remember these days. Thank you.
Interesting to hear the English like accents, and the care for proper diction.

Thanks for providing that information. Now entered into our database for this film.
I’m from America 🇺🇸 and that place where they live is beautiful 🤩. What part of Australia 🇦🇺 is that???
Rural, New South Wales! Between Sydney City and the outback! 🤗👍
I hope Norma and Hal stayed together! 🤗💓🫂
How Quaint
Why not upload in 1080p or 4k?
