This DVD-R edition has likely been mastered from a 35mm or 16mm reduction print of the film held by the Australian National Film and Sound Archive (as is evident from the publisher-provided still frame above showing the obtrusive video watermark in the upper right-hand corner of the picture that presumably is present throughout the film).
The film is likely accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting music sources.
Probably not a great presentation (and certainly over-priced for what you get) but this is the only home video edition of the film we know of.
