Kenneth Carruthers Rankine (1890 - 1968) was a keen amateur cinematographer and filmmaker. This collection of his home movies has been donated to ACMI by Kenneth’s granddaughter. The collection represents a wonderful slice of life in Australia; with contents including scenes of everyday life, major family occasions, holidays around Victoria and views of Melbourne.
This excerpt of Reel 12 of the film shows the family at a motor sport event held 1957 - 1959 Albert Park. A printed program reads ‘Second Day: 24th March 1957, Victorian Trophy Race, Organised by the Light Car Club of Australia’. The Light Car Club of Australia held motor races at Albert Park in between 1953 and 1958.
