Lemon-Scented Gum Avenue Centenary Sign at the Foot of a... — Clip Details

Kings Park, Perth, Western Australia, circa 1966 home movie footage. A single close shot holds on a blue sign with raised white lettering that reads 'This avenue of lemon-scented gum (Eucalyptus citriodora) commemorates the centenary of Western Australia 1929'. The sign stands on two posts in front of a pale, smooth gum trunk with a patch of darker bark, with sunlit grass and deep shade behind. The handheld camera drifts slightly but keeps the whole sign in frame for four seconds.

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: It answers requests for mid-1960s Perth and Kings Park material where an editor needs a readable on-screen sign to establish the place.
Period detail: The sign's raised white capitals on a blue panel and the saturated 8mm colour suit the 1960s, though the sign itself only carries the commemorative date 1929.
Home-movie behavior: A visitor films the sign as a caption for the holiday reel, holding it just long enough to read before moving on to the park.
What appears in frame: A blue sign with white raised lettering sits on two posts in front of a pale gum trunk with a dark bark patch, with sunlit grass and heavy shadow behind.
Film character: Handheld 8mm colour with fine grain, a strong blue and green palette, dense shadows and a slight side-to-side drift in the framing.
Edit role: It works as a location insert or caption card ahead of the avenue, statue and river views from the same park.
Historical context: Fraser Avenue was planted for the 1929 state centenary and replanted with lemon-scented gums in 1938, and this sign is how the park presented that history to visitors in the 1960s.
Research note: No people, logos or private property appear; the sign wording is public commemorative text, and copyright in the film is a separate matter from any property or site considerations.
Research search match: Kings Park Perth 1960s 8mm, lemon-scented gum avenue sign, Western Australia centenary 1929 sign, Fraser Avenue home movie.
Archive pairing path: Pair it first with the Lemon-scented gum avenue, Queen Victoria statue and Narrows Bridge clips from this reel, then with other 1960s Perth footage or commemorative signage.
