"Land Army" from 1941. "Australian Womens Land Army" from 1942. These women did it tough !
the earlier photos in this video are factual, having been taken in the Riverina region of NSW around the towns of Leeton Griffith Batlow and elsewhere, during World War 2.
the Australian Women's Land Army (AWLA) was established as a national organisation, with the aim of replacing the male farm workers who had either enlisted in the armed services in World War 2 or were working in other essential war work such as munitions. The AWLA was not an enlisted service, but rather a voluntary group.
Housed in hostels in farming areas, members were given formal farming instruction and were initially supplied with uniform, bedding etc. they undertook most types of work involved with primary industries.
