In 1956, television was introduced to Australia in time for the Olympic Games in Melbourne. In 1976, the Olympic Games in Montreal contributed to the high uptake of colour, as is highlighted in this clip from 20 Years of Television (1976).
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.
