'My first exposure to the idea that Australians could actually make films themselves came from this time. It came from the Wharfies Film Unit with these extraordinary documentaries on the life of wharfies, which I knew off by heart because I used to screen them night after night as a part of my party and projectionist duties. I think it was quite an important stage in the sequence of events that got the film industry up and running again. But it's not recorded anywhere, it's not written about, it's not understood.'
