Description

In Scarborough, people surf and swim in the sea at the beach. Aboard a ship, passengers dance and fool around for the camera. On a farm, a man uses a rotavator in a field. A group of men stand by a car drinking before pushing the car back. At a crowded beach, the group sunbathe. In a family garden, a couple pose with their dogs. Alf, a man on a farm pulls funny faces for the camera before spending time with his family. The film ends with Aboriginal Australians performing traditional dances.
