Australia Calls (1923 film)

Australia Calls is a 1923 Australian silent film directed by Raymond Longford commissioned by the Australian government to be shown at the British Empire Exhibition in Wembley Park, London, in 1924. It was a semi-documentary about the adventures of Ernest Idiens, a labourer from Longnor Staffordshire who moved to New South Wales with his brother in 1912 with only ₤30 between them and by 1923 had assets worth ₤14,000. In 1923 Idiens toured England talking about his success. The movie is not to be confused with Longford's 1913 picture Australia Calls and is considered a lost film.
