Double DVD Set - a Great Gift for Christmas
The Academy Award-Winning Film by Damien Parer
Kokoda Frontline
With an Introduction and Concluding Narration by Peter FitzSimons
The Kokoda Campaign of World War II was a bloody and desperate struggle fought in hellish conditions throughout the highland jungle of Papua New Guinea. It was there that brave and heroic action of the Australian 39th battalion changed the course of history as the future of their country hung in the balance.
Photographer Damian Parer was there, and his inspirational film deservedly won Australia's first Academy Award. Parer was a wild and unique man who left his legacy as dogged and uncompromising chronicler of armed conflict. Indeed he died producing this legacy, killed in 1944 on a Pacific Island, backwards as he filmed American marines going into battle. This film is testimony to his skill, bravery and daring.
Approximate Running Time: 72 minutes

Tobruk - A film archive of Australia's part in this turbulent period of WW II
April 1941, Tobruk, Libya - 14000 Australian troops stationed in Tobruk were awaiting reinforcements and supplies which never arrived. Eight months later, these gallant, heroic troops were finally rescued after enduring the onslaught of unending, crippling attacks from Rommel's Africa corps. The "Rats of Tobruk", like the gallant heroes of Kokoda and Gallipoli, are remembered and honoured in this film archive of a proud period of Australia's military history.
