Using special cinematograph effects such as split screens, this film sets up a storyline to promote the resources and industries of Tasmania. The main products and secondary industries are grouped broadly into wool and textiles, including carpets; paper; processed food; and metal products. The cast includes four Australian models - Wendy Gilmore, Nola Clark, Carol Stevens and Barbara Wilding - outfitted by Prue Acton.
