A Gateway to Charm – Northwest Tasmania (1955)

This government tourist film offers some interesting glimpses into the Northwest Coast sixty years ago, and a some pleasant scenes of tourist attraction. While it’s perhaps a little overenthusiastic with its promises, and far too dismissive of the Tasmanian Aboriginals, it’s a nice ramble through sunny roads and waterways from an earlier time.
