Manners and Customs of Australia (1907)
The first view of this film shows the Hawkesberry River and the steel bridge spanning it. This is followed by a view on the busy Rue a Melbourne, after which several types of uncivilized Australians are shown, one of them being pictured throwing the boomerang. Now is seen a large ostrich farm, a big herd of the fine birds being in view. The manner of plucking the plumes out of the tails is demonstrated, a powerful bird being cornered against a fence for this purpose. He puts up a terrific struggle, and the men are forced to drop a black hood over his head to get the feathers, which are now shown. The next scene is the killing of scores of rabbits which infest and destroy the Australian crops. Dogs and huge clubs wielded by boys figure here. The last pictures show several typical wild horses, the cowboys trying to mount them, suffering several shakings-up in the attempt.
