A clip from the documentary Project Teleview about the planning, building and opening of TVW 7, Perth, Western Australia in 1959.
This clip shows station staff preparing for the official station opening, and director Bev Gledhill and director’s assistant Penny Hoes working in the control room on the opening night on 16 October 1959.
We also see the arrival of guests for the opening night, including His Excellency the Governor of Western Australia Sir Charles Gardner.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
