Recently, I have been exploring the National Film Archive of Australia. It has been so enjoyable, that I wanted to share with our American cousins.
The first I want to present to you is from the 'Life in Australia', series designed for migrants or potential migrants. The films date to the 1960s

First up, because I'm a Melbournian, is about life in my home town.
This is before my time, when the world, from my perspective was quite delightfully quaint.

The film goes for less than 20 minutes.

Enjoy!

A lot of Americans aren't aware of the friendly rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne, but it exist...
Here then is an American take on what that sibling rivalry is all about...

Melbourne is the better city!
