Clip description

The importance of primary production and agricultural research and education is explained through an intertitle. This is followed by a sequence of three shots capturing a group of young men pruning grapevines in a vineyard.

Curator’s notes

This clip, from the final scenes of the film, obliquely focuses on an important industry in South Australia – the wine industry. Other important aspects of primary industry are shown briefly at the conclusion of the film, which back up the intertitles’ emphasis on the importance of agriculture and primary production.
