Item title reads - When the rains came to Australia.
People walk along under umbrellas against the torrential rain. Various shots of torrents of water rushing down roads and over the countryside. Various shots of a dam with the water nearly up to the top. L/S of a big waterfall, the camera pans across the dam. M/S of a slightly damp country road, it then shows it after the rains when it is completely flooded, a boy and girl walk through. M/S as other girls walk through and one rides her bicycle. Various shots of a railway siding under floods of water.
Water rushes under a bridge. We see another country road before and after the floods. M/S of a warning sign next to a drowned bridge. Lorries and cars drive through and a boat sails up to a house to deliver milk. Two boys try to clear the water from their backyard. A dog and two boys go down a slide into the water. A bridge is cleared of debris and the camera pans across rotting vegetation. L/S of Warragamba weir, water pours over it. Various good shots of water rushing down the weir as people watch it.

WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
