This film is a bit of a rarity among Australian documentaries from that era, with very few copies floating around in collector circles. Its format has mostly been on standard VHS, making good quality transfers harder to find. Interest seems to be on the rise lately, especially among those drawn to historical insights and local culture, so it has become a nice piece for dedicated collectors who appreciate unvarnished depictions of past lifestyles.
