History of the Australian Sugarcane Industry "They're all half crazy"

Produced in 1995 this video chronicles the evolution of mechanical cane harvesting in Australia. The historical content spans the period of harvesting by hand through to the mechanised cane harvesters which were in operation at the time the video was produced.

Its sad to see how far we have fallen behind in the sugarcane industry, miss the times when Australia was large in everything.

Hello Luis if you email [e-mail] we can send you a link to the working in Australia home affairs website, as we don't arrange employment, but this may help you understand what is involved with working in Australia?

How was cane harvested before the machines of 1888? Who did the work by hand?
