[Raymond Penington Home Movies: Reel 9]

The Raymond Penington Home Movie Collection is a collection of 16mm colour and black-and-white films made between 1938 and 1965. Dr. Raymond Penington (born 1903) was a medical doctor from Melbourne, Victoria. He and his wife Edith lived in Papua New Guinea in the late 1920s before returning to Melbourne in 1931 and settling in Canterbury. They had three children, Margaret, Vivienne and Jocelyn. His home movies focus on family life in Melbourne and holidays in regional Victoria.

The first half of this film is long scenes of the sea interchanged with a koala in a tree.

Later we see Edith Penington holding the koala which appears to be domesticated.

Much of the rest of the film is following this koala as it eats and climbs trees.

There is also a brief moment with a penguin and some sheep.

The film finishes with Edith Penington fishing.
