“Let the canefields burn!” 🔥🔥 Each year Queenslanders would wait for the cane crush to start. Cutters would swing cane knives from dawn to dusk putting away up to 10 tonnes of burnt cane on their own! We’re taking you back to 1964 with the rural doco “Waiting for the Crush”. Another of our favourites from the past 75 years! #RetroFocus #ABCRural175
