There was also a planned version of Robbery Under Arms to have been directed by Ken G. Hall which never happened.
The following is taken from a Wikipedia article on Ken G. Hall.
Needing a sure-fire hit, Hall then persuaded Bert Bailey to reprise his role as Dad Rudd in Grandad Rudd (1935), based on a play co-written by Bailey. It was popular, although not as big a hit as On Our Selection.
Hall intended to follow this movie with a version of Robbery Under Arms but decided not to proceed because of uncertainty arising from a ban the NSW government had on films about bushrangers. Cinesound ceased production for several months in 1935 to enable Hall to travel to Hollywood and research production methods.
Diggers ( 1931 ) was one of three feature films that Pat Hanna starred in. The other two were Diggers In Blighty ( 1933 ) which was a follow up to Diggers. I do intend to include this film here next up.
The third film was Waltzing Matilda ( 1933 ) which was previously included here on this thread in November 2021. You can checkout the history behind the following poster haul images by checking out the original November 2021 posting.
Diggers In Blighty ( 1933 ). Unlike the previously featured Diggers ( 1931 ), this follow up film has much more material available.
There are many other black and white lobby card / still material images also available as well as the above images. Unfortunately though no posters located in the form of a daybill, and extremely unlikely to ever surace, a one sheet or three sheet.

Lost! was a 1918 Australian film. No original Australian film posters seem to exist for it today. This is the case it would appear of almost all of Australian produced film posters from the 1900s decade..

The above poster is a 1991 NFSA Australian produced and listed by them as being a daybill poster, with the size not listed. The State Library Of South Australia do list this poster size as being only 42 x 20 cm in size. Elements of the original artwork were used, as one can see from the original theatrical advertisement appearing above,
The film was from the famous Raymond Langford and Lotte Lyeell combination. The film was banned in N.S.W.
The poster was printed for the film's NFSA re-release at the Capri Theatre Goodwood S. A. in the early 1990s. The Woman Suffers had been originally filmed in the state of South Australia. including many local areas. This would appear to be the reason for the screenings being held there.
The above newspaper advertisement was placed for Sydney, N.S.W. screenings during it's very limited run that commenced in August 1918.
During October of the same year the film was. without any reason given, banned in N.S.W of any future screenings. and removed from any cinemas that were screening the film at that time,
The Woman Suffers was passed by the Australian censor and screened everywhere else in Australia without any problems. One of a number of instances where individual Australian states banned films that had been passed by the Australian censorship department.
More of a documentary/event than a film. However, here's another one for you Lawrence. Festival in Adelaide daybill.
Good one Wil. Thank you for posting it here.
A rare poster indeed that I have never sighted previously. A 55 minute documentary that was released in Australia in 1962. Some history preserved here.
Although not credited on the Australian daybill of Festival In Adelaide one of the cast members is a young Sir David Attenforough.
You can locate a copyrighted black and whiie still image connected with the film of him patting a Koala bear at the Adelaide Zoo on Google.. The image is held by the National Film And Sound Archive Of Australia,
I'd never heard of this until i got the poster, so i guess it's a rare poster for an Australian film.
I also have never heard of this film prior to today.
Little is available regarding details about this obscure film.
What I have been able to locate about it is that it is from 1994, and it's title is actulaly just Baby Bath Massacre. It is listed as being a T.V. movie and a spin-off from the television series Raw. This series is even harder to locate any details on. and In fact nothing at all.
I worked with the director, Stuart McDonald on an episode of the TV series Rush, but I can't really remember much about him. He only directed one episode.

I am interested in knowing what your role was when working on the episode.
Released in Sydney in 1993, but it appears not screened in Melbourne. Released by Ronin Films on 35mm. Box office returns hardly anything. On to video early the following year on 11 January 1994. The dual purpose appearing daybill sized poster above mentions a 1993 National Theatrical Release as well as the Video date in 1994.
Interestingly the film was originally classified M ( Low level course language, Drug use), and the advertisement mentions Sex, Drugs And Lawn Bowls, yet the film ended up being advertised with a milder PG ratiig.
In The Search Of The Stallion Of The Sea ( aka Stallion Of the Sea) has proven very difficult to locate any details regarding it. Even various lists of Australian documentary films fail to include it.
What I have found is that the film was classified G as In Search of Stallion Of The Sea by the Australian film censor on I January 1982. The film was produced and submitted by a J. Fairfax on 16 mm with a running time of 125 minutes. Thinking John Fairfax & Sons / Fairfax Melia Limited being the applicant
Some screenings found for the film in 1982. Scant details regarding these though.

Oasis ( 1935 ) rare Australian glass lantern slide.
An extremely difficult Australian documentary film to have been able to locate information and posters on. Oasis is mentioned from one source as having a running time of around 20 minutes.The above Australian newspaper clipping from January 16. 1936, sourced from Everyones / Trove ), is very informative though.
Being a very short film documentary there he a good chance that a daybill, or any other size film posters possibly would not have been printed for this title.

In late 1936 BEF still had plans to film Robbery Unfer Arms, as per the above advertisement shows.

Demonstrator (1971) daybill and one of seven known lobby cards sited.
Little known independent film released in Australia by Columbia Pictures that did very little business at the box office.
Included in the titles are some rare film images, ranging from a re-release of a 1918 film.
There is also an early 1930s. first release daybill, and also a re-release 1930s film daybill of two very well known Australian films.
