The film, made in Australia's south-west forests, portrays the overlap of the steam-era and motorised forest-based timber industry. It includes axe use; cross-cut sawing; portable motor-saw; bullock teams; winding gear; steam rail; wheeled arch - horse team; steam cross-cut; frame-saw; paving blocks. Sound/no narration.
Producer - The Government of the Commonwealth of Australia (S.W. Western Australian forests). 1930s.
What an amazing piece of footage. It even has sound!!!! So much of what was done, and how, has been lost. But at least this hasn't.
wonderful. give us more. harking back to when men were men. kinda related to how the pyramids were built. with human ingenuity.
How sad is this
It’s amazing what a cross cut can do! I would’ve liked to be there before wouldn’t you?
The Japanese would have been laughing at us, destroying our old growth forests for export to be turned into paper, It’s sad.
