This is a short excerpt from a promotional film for the Caravan Trade and Industries Association.

The reef’s vibrant and abundant marine life is shown including coral, fish, seahorses and a stingray. Tourists walk amongst the rock pools in the shallows.

Away from the bustle of the city and the strain of everyday life, the islands of the Great Barrier Reef offer a place for relaxation. In the bushland, birds fill the trees.

This home movie was filmed in spring 1941.
