A beautifully made film. It's well worth acknowledging that its director, Joan Boundy, subsequently married Martin Long, who composed the music for 'In Harbour'. As Joan Long, she became a key advocate for the Australian feature film revival, and was a producer of such well-received films as 'Caddie', 'The Picture Show Man', 'Puberty Blues' and 'Emerald City'.
Net Fishing in the Harbour had to be ceased only a few years ago. Heavy metals still remain as a result of bad industrial practices over the past 150 years. Plastic bottles have taken over from glass. But still a lot of rubbish and mess end up in the Harbour.

Graham Shirley Thanks Graham, your knowledge of Australian film history is such a valuable resource and I appreciate the insights you provide here.

Never thought I would see the old HMS 'Penguin' salvage & crane ship, her last days were at Kerosene Bay.
Loved it. Thanks
Great History
Opino lo mismo Terry adoro estos films y me traen cierta nostalgía.Me gustan las epocas anteriores a esta.

8:32 "Take it easy, man!!" Wow!! what a hipster for 1954...
After he said 'take it easy, man, I thought he was going to exclaim "FAR OUT!!" ;)

Who is the narrator? It sounds like Leonard Teale.
We don't have any record of who it is but Leonard did do some work for the Film units.
