Vintage Capertee and Burragorang film footage

Postby Paul+ » Fri 13 Oct, 2023 7:36 pm

Hi gang, I did a short walk from Dunphys the other day to the base of Carlons Head.( well, I nearly made it)Whilst wandering along my memory went back to an old Chips Raffety movie I watched once and I remember some of it was filmed on Narrowneck, in fact I recall at one point a very old village which I think was called "Bimlow". anyway I started googling Chips Raffety movies and low and behold this is what I found on Wikepedia Bush Christmas (1947 film) - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_Christmas_(1947_film)
The film was entirely shot on location in March 1946. Filming took place in the Capertee Valley and at Kanangra Tops and Burragarong Valley, in the Blue Mountains. They also did a week's work at Carr Park, Kogarah. Neza Saunders fell off a horse while filming but had recovered within two days. Post production.
So for any b/w historians out there if you can get hold of this , maybe on youtube or via TROVE it will provide some really interesting historical cinema, good luck,
