VIC RAIL & VLINE COLLECTION [Victorian Railway Commission]
The Victorian Railways collection comprises 15 hours of rich B&W and colour archival footage exploring train travel throughout Australia from 1923 onwards. The collection takes us nationwide via travelogues filmed for prospective tourists who might want to take a trip inland to the mountain or to coastal regions. In this clip, two Resources members travel to Central Australia and watch a skillful technician tapping into the Overland Telegraph line.
