Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Grape Harvest. DESCRIPTION: Dried fruit is one of Australia’s thriving industries, and harvesting the grapes is hard work. District champion Tony Zollo works really hard - he can fill 900 buckets a day. Once picked, the grapes are laid out on racks until a busy piece of machinery moves in to shake away leaves and stalks. (But it doesn’t shake out the pips!) Once packed, the fruit is sent away to markets throughout the world. SHOTLIST: Good view of grape vines. Close-up shots of picking grapes. Long shots of grapes on racks for drying. Machine goes through trees. Lemons. Oranges and grapefruit. Spraying trees.
