Clip description
This clip shows a tourist group visiting a Balinese village and family compound where turtles are sold by the roadside. A salt-making settlement nearby is shown where, the voice-over explains, salt is boiled inside large cauldrons within huts. The group also visits a site where tiles and bricks are made and dried in the sun. Down beside a stream, women gather black sand and bring it up to the road where it is loaded onto trucks and transported to Denpasar.
Curator’s notes
This clip is an interesting example of a tourist’s perspective on Bali in the 1970s. Bali has always been a popular destination with Australians and this film was made at a time when cheaper air travel meant that more and more Australians travelled overseas. Cheaper fares also sparked a rapid escalation in packaged tourism. The voice-over remains informative, but is limited to a Bali experience provided by a tourist group. The scenes of village life and traditional culture fit with Bresnahan’s view of the Balinese as a ‘peasant people’ who live close to nature.
