Summaries

In 1901, the nation of Australia was born. This momentous occasion, along with all the excitement and ceremony, was captured on film by the Salvation Army's Limelight Department cameras. The wealth of footage that was generated became the basis of Australia's first feature length documentary. In this rare opportunity, you can see the triumphal military and civic processions, our first Governor General and other important events of 1 January 1901.—Official Synopsis
