Description :
The State Library holds more than 200 segments of film taken by Percival Moody. Born at Kent Town in 1890, Moody was a philanthropist, company director and keen motor hobbyist, founding the Harley-Davidson Motor Cycle Club and the Outboard Club of South Australia.

Moody filmed historic South Australian events, occasions and attractions between 1929-1950, and raised funds for charity through public film screenings.

In 1936 South Australia celebrated 100 years since the foundation of the state as a British colony.

One of the events held to mark the occasion was this re-enactment of the landing of Governor Hindmarsh from HMS Buffalo. Following the disembarkation of the mock settlers, the crowd heads to the nearby Old Gum Tree to view a re-enactment of the reading of the Proclamation.

Other events during the Centenary celebrations included theatrical productions, a Children's Empire Pageant, floral festival and the grand finale, a Pageant of Progress, held in December.
