The
Tradition Lives On
A 424-page coffee table book exploring the multifaceted and rich tapestry of history of the individual Couta Boats in the largely Victorian fleet of fishing boats. The book has been lovingly collated by the Couta Boat Association and considers the substantial history and at-times hilarious and incredible stories of the many beautiful boats in the fleet. The book contains some remarkable photographs and is a much-needed account of the wooden boats and their illustrious owners. Highly recommended.
First Home
This large format coffee-table book traces the history of a distinctly Australian fishing boat and culture. This hardback book, by Michael Innes and Steve Burnham, records the rich but almost forgotten story of the classic Couta Boats that fished the stormy waters of Bass Strait off Victoria’s west coast. More than 200 previously unpublished photos and scores of fishermen’s tales chronicle a voyage of rediscovery. Along the way, the “Couta Coast” appears, an important addition to Australia’s maritime heritage and historical record.
Two Men in a Punt
The Huon Pine grows in the wet temperate rainforests of Tasmania. Slow growing, some trees have been dated at over three thousand years old. Fine grained, stable, and containing a special oil which inhibits rot, it was quickly recognised by the pioneers as ideal for boat building and a host of other uses. This DVD follows in the wake of the old piners - the men who logged the Huon Pine - and is enriched by interviews whose content dates back to the 1930s.
Trading Out of Stanley
Now a quiet fishing village and holiday destination, picturesque Stanley lies on Tasmania's north westcoast. For 160 years it was a bustling trading port with timber and farm produce being its main exports. In this DVD we hear from seamen who worked the little ships as well as the Islanders who earned a hard and honest living grazing livestock and mutton birding.
The Last Cape Horners
The last Cape Horners is a journey through time that links two unlikely places, Port Victoria in Australia, and the Aland Islands of Finland.
Now old men, the Cape Horners of Australia and Finland, happily share their stories. Some speak of the romance of the sea, others shudder at the terrible conditions, but all agree it was an experience that shaped their lives and one they would not have missed for the world.
The Couta Boat
The story of the Couta Boats which evolved to sail to fish for Barracuda off the rugged Victorian coast. In recent years they have made a remarkable comeback as pleasure craft through their rugged simplicity, ease of sailing, versatility, and their direct link with our maritime heritage. Much of their story is told by men who actually built and fished in them in the 1930’s. Includes new and archival footage, some dating from 1915, plus dozens of period photos.
Pearl Shell Divers
Having just done a three-day hard-hat course, I am of course an expert on the dangers that the early pearl divers faced. But did they know of the dangers! They saw the results of the bends, but did they know how to prevent them? Were they so desperate to earn a living that they had to face the unknown ‘terrors of the deep’ – the sharks, huge groupers and giant clams? Garry Kerr’s excellent DVD answers these questions through the candid, fascinating, interviews with some of the men who donned a hard-hat on Thursday Island after the war – after the Japanese, who had dominated the pearling industry prior to the Pacific War, had departed the island. We must be grateful to Garry Kerr for recording the memories of these most courageous divers now well into their twilight years. Of further interest in the documentary movie is several very interesting extracts of a 1970s government film unit documentary called ‘Pearlers of the Coral Seas’, and the famous Chips Rafferty film ‘King of the Coral Sea’, which, incidentally, gave Rod Taylor his start.
