Clip description
This clip from a home movie filmed by Australian Prime Minister, Sir Robert Menzies, begins with a title card that says ‘Europe – almost there!’ This is followed by street scenes in a European city, and Sir Robert Menzies’ daughter, Heather Henderson, appropriately dressed for arriving in Europe in a two-piece suit and hat.
Curator’s notes
This clip captures the excitement of arriving in Europe after such a long journey at sea.
