Artesian Water Is Aid to Progress And Prosperity Of Moree. Australian Colour Diary 8

From The Film Australia Collection. Made by the National Film Board 1958. Directed by Jack S Allan. Moree in western New South Wales, is the centre of a rich pastoral and agricultural district. The key to its success is water - artesian and sub-artesian. This film looks at how the area’s cattle, linseed and wheat production industries profit from this water source as well as the social amenities and benefits it brings.
Moree was one of the rural towns visited by the Freedom Rides activists in 1965. To see more on this episode of Australia's social history visit our ASO educational page here: aso.gov.au/titl...
