The presenter in this film. Garry Ord , was an announcer with ABC radio in Brisbane at this time. He died in 2019.

It is interesting to note that the Australian accent has changed drastically since this was made some 45 years ago. We will probably sound a lot more like Americans 45 years from now. š±š²šØ

I remember we didn't have TV in Darwin when I lived there in the 60s but they must have done by '72.
