In this silent newsreel clip from 16 July 1948, actress Vivien Leigh opens a camellia show at the Killara Memorial Hall in Sydney.
A crowd gathers outside the hall. Inside, Lady Olivier, wearing a fur coat and a hat, walks through the crowd and looks at the flowers. She makes a speech to open the show and is presented with a box of camellias.
