This educational film from 1967 explains how minerals are subtracted from sand, separated, then purified, before being exported from Australia to the rest of the world. The film is directed by John Shaw, photographed by Leo Elia and George Alexander, and produced by John Martin Jones, with sound by Gordon Wraxall. The Commonwealth Film Unit presents “Golden Sands” in co-operation with Australian National Film Board News and Information Bureau, RCA, and Eastman Colour.
