: of the new Australian film, 'Bitter Spring.' Murgon, in the South Burnett district, is 182 miles from Brisbane. Population is about 2000.

Ealing's general manager in Australia (Mr. Eric Willia'ms), who has just returned from a location survey in Northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland, said to-night that Murgon was most favoured because the weather there was ideal most of the year. 'I was, very impressed by the scenery in N.S.VV. and Queensland, but I will not make a decision until the producer (Mr. Ralph Williams) arrives.'
