1 form y separately published work icon From the Tropics to the Snow Pat Flower , Cedric Flower , John Morris , ( dir. Richard Mason et. al. )agent Sydney : Australian Commonwealth Film Unit , 1963 Z1689557 1963 single work film/TV

A 'mock-umentary' about making a documentary, From the Tropics to the Snow sees a scriptwriter and a director argue their approaches to the problem of making a comprehensive documentary about Australia. One favours an experimental style, the other a more conventional approach. Wittily observed excerpts from both proposed films indicate the faults of each, and the problems of making such a film are chronicled with considerable humour.

1 13 y separately published work icon Mermaid Singing Charmian Clift , Indianapolis : Bobbs-Merrill , 1956 Z247154 1956 single work autobiography

'In the 1950s Charmian Clift and her husband decided to escape the cold and routine of London for the warmth of the Greek island, Kalymnos. Far from the tourist trail, Kalymnos was bare and poor - an escape, but by no means paradise. Yet as the months went by, Clift and her family became part of the community. This book captures the essence of island life.'

1 y separately published work icon To See the Queen Ann Shead , London : Faber , 1953 Z870998 1953 single work children's fiction children's The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature (1993): 387 comments: 'Class distinctions are made very clear in To See the Queen (1953). Patsy, Cherry, Roger and Christine are from families where wrist-watches, ponies and large properties are the order of the day, while the Fords live in a wretched shack, which they do not seem able to keep tidy. Fortunately, breeding wins through, and the girls soon straighten things up.'
