  • As Australia Day 2012 approaches we look back to an Australia of 40 years ago. A "futuristic" computer centre assumes the task of collecting information on Australia, and assembling a report. The audience sees and hears the report as it issues from the computer by means of audio-visual images of Australia in the seventies. The film was made to inform a sophisticated audience about what is happening in Australia now, and what is likely to happen in the next decade. Through the computer's TV monitor the viewer participates in a thorough dissection of Australia: the country , the people, the mood of the times in which we live.
    Made by the Australian Commonwealth Film Unit 1971. Directed by Keith Gow.

    Your can certainly see Peter Weir's influence coming through in the production. At 18:10 I never thought I would ever see "Titties and Beer" in a nfsa film. I guess the influence of "the pill" had really changed and influenced community views and standards by 1971.

    As a indigenous man.. We have finally go to be free pass to live... But over development has stuffed up the land... hard to catch a fish these days.
    Every thing is Centralized now, but some people are going back to the country places, looking like the system is failing... so Communities will probably come to life again making things local like the old days.
