Thinkabout, Talkabout: Getting around town during the war years

TLF ID M015812

During a fuel crisis, how do most people get around? In Australia during World War II, fuel was rationed (restricted so that people could buy only limited amounts), as it was in very short supply. Car parts were also in limited supply, so they were hard to replace. Hear some accounts of that time and watch footage from World War II Australia to see the range of transport used.
