13/08/2007: "TRAVELING SHOWMAN .......Northern Safari"

For many years we took films along the east coast of Australia to towns where there was no longer a cinema. In Queensland we used existing cinemas- which was the rule. Although more expensive to hire the attendances were phenomenal. This introduced us to the merits of using TV advertising.

Equipment used were Eiki xenon 16mm projectors holding 55 minutes of film per reel, which was sufficient with two reels and an intermission break between the change-over.


This picture was in 1981 when I did shows for Northern Safari, the all-time classic outback adventure documentary feature film that grossed many millions with shows in several countries. It still does well today with book and DVD sales.
