Clip description

A look at the Rocks area, focusing on restored old buildings, and tourist attractions including retail outlets.

Curator’s notes

This is a nicely shot montage of today’s Rocks area. It is a classic example of 'sponsored’ or commissioned work of this period. The use of the walking tour, with a well-chosen snippet of location sound, helps personalise the material, effectively making us one of the participants.
