Just watched three short films from Australia. Enjoyed all three. These have been uploaded to YouTube by the National Film and Sound Archive. These were:
North to the Sun (1951), documentary and travelogue filmed in Queensland. This was given a theatrical release, for example in Sydney it was shown at the Embassy cinema, where it accompanied the Anna Neagle film "Odette" (1950), along with additional shorts "Royal Duck Shoot" (1948), "Bee at the Beach" (1950) and a newsreel. In 1958, the short was also shown on TV.
Our Firemen (1951) is a simple classroom film about firemen. Believe it or not, it also got shown at least one cinema. Interestingly, the film was directed by a woman, Joan Long (credited as Joan Boundy).
Double Trouble (1951) is a comedy with the message of being helpful towards foreigners. I don't know anything about the release of this film.
