The Slim Dusty Movie

Using archival film, aerial photography, stills, prints and contemporary footage, this documentary presents the city of Melbourne and its lifestyle. Looks at the unique Victorian architecture that transformed Melbourne from a tent city during the Gold Rush to a modern and prosperous city. Captures the vibrant streetscapes, the trams, the elaborate arcades and some of the institutions that cater to Melbourne's elite such as the Georges store and the Melbourne Club.

The National Trust Queensland commissioned Timber and Tin, the story of Queensland architecture, mainly in domestic buildings, from the days of the earliest settlers and of the materials from which they were built with emphasis on the use of timber and corrugated iron. The film illuminates forms, structures, and decorative details that characterize this type of regional architectural expression. It includes interviews with people who worked the materials and built the houses as well as those who grew up with them.
