Sat here in hospital and being bored I stumbled across this today. I suppose it was their equivalent to Wanted down under. The video is trying to sell Australia to the ten pound poms.

Never saw anything like that when I started 'the ball rolling', which was in 1962.  Went to a tourist shop, got the necessary forms to fill and didn't even see any adverts for Australia in the shop.

Cheers, Bobj.

Almost forgot...Dear Old Mum insisted that I go to Smellbum as her youngest brother was there. Dear Old Dad paid his way and Uncle George reciprocated by sending a year's subscription of ''The Age'' newspaper.
