Travelogue of Eastern States provides an interesting glimpse into late 1920s Australia.

Digitised from the original tinted 35mm nitrate reel, stunning colours were discovered upon scanning and brings vibrancy to the moving images featuring iconic Australian city and landscapes scenes.

It begins with views of a sparsely populated Canberra, a sharp contrast to scenes of a busy Sydney harbour, Bondi beach and St Kilda Road, Melbourne. The Illawarra coast line is seen from the tops of Bulli and the wonders of The Blue Mountains and the Jenolan Caves give an insight into technology and places of interest at the time.
