Eucalyptus oil is distilled from the leaves of certain types of Australian eucalyptus trees. The film shows this being done by men who live and work in the bush and also some of the scientific research being carried out in order to determine the uses to which the different types of oil may be put. Photography: Frank Bagnall.
