Possibly an unfinished film? Perhaps a film intended to be dubbed into several languages? Includes footage of a number of things, including shortwave radio broadcasting and various other stuff.
Australian Reporter (1957)

Forgive me if I spam this thread, but I intend to have a short film marathon using the YouTube uploads of Australia's National Film and Sound Archive......
Building a Brick House (1946) - Dry instructional film for those intending to enter the building trade. Dull yet interesting. An austere film for an austere time, and including an austere house. Very very austere....

Just watched:
Two Wheel Worship (1959), motorcycle safety film. I think the director had seen too many American films when it comes to the opening few minutes. Not bad for a road safety film.

Just watched:
Aircraft at Work (1966), a 17-minute classroom film about aeroplanes. Most classroom films suck. This one doesn't suck! In fact it holds up quite well, is well-produced and is quite enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed seeing a doctor travel to the remote outback via aeroplane.

From Orchard to Can (1949) - 10-minute documentary about the growing of fruits, and also including footage of fruit being canned. Picture and sound quality are poor. Somewhat poorly produced, but still interesting.

Just watched:
Guide to Canberra (1958) - Travelogue/promotional film filmed in Canberra. Shot on 16mm film, so presumably not intended for theatrical release, I assume this was shown in libraries, town halls, civic centres, places like that. Yet another Australian Commonwealth Film Unit production.....
Not sure if anyone cares, but a couple weeks ago I was doing research on Canberra media, for example seeing what kind of material from Canberra TV station CTC survives from the 1960s/1970s/1980s (unfortunately, CTC doesn't produce any shows anymore. Even their local newscast is produced by another station outside of Canberra). Unless I'm mistaken very few feature films have been shot in Canberra....

Just watched:
Life in Australia: Launceston (1966) - 18-minute travelogue/promotional film. The "Life in Australia" series of films were shown internationally to encourage people to move to Australia. They feature no dialogue, were shot in Eastmancolor, and based on the two I've seen they represent interesting time capsules.

Just watched:
Jacaranda Festival (1949) - a 7-minute documentary about a colourful festival. The production values and cinematography make me think of 1940s home movies....heck, it even has the same picture quality as 1940s home movies. Still fun to watch though.
