Period detail
The deck shows rounded 1960s sedans and a box truck, and the far shore may show the lower-rise residential skyline of the period.
Film character
Colour small-gauge reversal film with a cool blue-violet cast, soft distant focus, steady grain and a few dust specks, captured from projection with a slightly handheld tilt.
Historical context
Filmed from high on the bridge at a time when the south-east pylon lookout was the public vantage point and the Opera House across the water was still under construction.
