Here's another of Fitzpatrick's "Glimpses of..." A series that would be beneficial for today's movie crowd to learn of other locations in the world. One thing fascinating about this 8 minute short is that it is in color. Something nearly otherwise non-existent in those days. And what color! More bright and cheerful than most all films out today!
There's a neat view of residential Sydney circa 1939. There's also the sites of the Blue Hills, Australia's Grand Canyon. I love the view of downtown Melbourne architecture and the street car.
Lots of information that still applies to today. Do you know how much smaller Australia is compared to the United States? Do you know what gem was first found and mined in Australia? What was Melbourne best known as?
Lots packed into 8 minutes and well worth spending the time to view.
