2:39 MY OLD HOUSE LOOKED LIKE THAT, those things are legit EVERYWHERE.

Yes , good old multiculturalism and diversity,, ruined Elizabeth ,, and ruined Australia, ,,,there is only so much water you can add to a good quality glass of Scotch Whiskey,, and that is Australia now 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Such beautiful homes, now most are getting knocked down and replaced with 2 or 3 matchbox homes, all grey and squeezed in one block of land, with little to no backyards. The modern progress left for the future generations, Sad.

The irony is that the west lakes area was once a literal dump and now look at it, through private developers they were able to transform the location to what it is today, whereas due to the Government managing Elizabeth and Salisbury North (formerly where single mothers from neighbouring areas were sent to raise their children) you can see how it soon dropped and it became what it is today. It is so sad to see that all the corruption is what caused the decay. There were no knife wielding teens in shopping malls back in those days, because they had socialisation. It wasn’t in front of a screen. They spent time with their family and friends and they went to church. Nowadays Australia and the rest of the western world is too busy focusing on diversity and immigration to help out the actual citizens that have grown up here. How is it that a taxi driver and an office worker back in the 1960’s could live like Royalty (I’m referring to that other video uploaded with vintage Adelaide footage) and yet nowadays everyone is struggling? The Government can blow millions on stupid votes for things that no one wants to vote for in the first place so of course they vote no so they don’t have to keep saying it and pay for politicians that are abusive and a waste of taxpayers money and yet when it comes to actually paying the people that need it there’s nothing

The man in the red Holden, who does the commentary, is Ron Sullivan from Radio 5AD. He performed the ANZAC Day commentary, for many years. 🎉🎉

What was, is not now. Thanks to companies going overseas. Sad to see greed taking precedence over the people here. 😢

....Use The Shit-Hole for Experiments/Entertainment...Big fence---Free Meth n Maccas---Live Feed Cameras---"Trueman goes to Lizzy"....hell yeah...!!...

This video is already on TH-cam but unlike yours is in the correct aspect ratio. I can’t watch yours all squashed.

Birth of ra ghetto

Just bought some crack in Elizabeth, the best!

Notice how neat and in order everything was back then

Why is it all stretched sideways? Is it so hard to keep the original format?

I arrived in Adelaide & we bought a house in Clovercrest, so similar set up to Elizabeth. I thought I'd landed on Mars! There were no trees or bushes, it was very barren, just a lot of red earth. Our house was a sweat box in summer, we had no air-conditioning, it was so unbearable that we often went & slept outside. That was 59 year's ago & I'm sure it's all changed, but I wouldn't want to go back to 1965. It wasn't a good time for me.....

My God! I'm moving to Elizabeth tomorrow.

Oh Elizabeth; how you’ve changed…

They need to change their sign to "LIZBEFF" .

Shithole then and shithole now

Now this was Australia not today thou

Fine education? My arse. I went from a top class in London to learning nothing but how to be housewife in high school in Adelaide. From the top to the bottom. No choice at all.

Now what happened to Rundle street?

I guess this was made in 1962 since he's driving about in an HK Holden.

I have to say, for the most part people knew how to furnish houses then. Now it's all plastic and aluminium from China. Cheap and nasty. I now live in Queensland where you simply cant get good wooden furniture at all. If you see any for sale, it's in the Southern States.

I think they're waking up now in Adelaide, they've mostly given up trying to grow gardens.

Grow What?

Elizabeth, A Left Wing City, Because Of All The Communist,Who, Came From Glasgow, Belfast, Liverpool, Manchester, And London, As Bob Hawke, A Communist Himself Said, Left Wing Militant Unionism I Sth Australia, Is, A British Disease, That's What Ruined Elizabeth, Lets Go Out O n Strike, I Worked In Uniroyal, And The Shop Steward Called A Strike Because His Friend, Another Shop Steward In Edwarstown Gave Him Tickets To Go To The Forum To See The First "R" Rated Film Released In SA, "THE DEVILS" Starring, Oliver Reed, Stuff The Rank And File Who Needed The Extra Wages, Hmm, Did'nt The Same Thing Happen In Holden's Not Long Before It Closed, Thank You, Mr Caruso, Another Commie, saw Him Wandering Around Munno Para Shopping Centre, Wonder If His Calling Strikes, Came Back To Haunt Him, 😊😅

Where did it all go wrong? I lived in Elizabeth from 1957 through to 1960 . I was in Grade 4, and we lived in Elizabeth Grove, started school in "the South" with Mr Brodie. and moved to Elizabeth Grove Primary under Mrs. Fatchen (wife of the famous Max). We had an Ampol servo over the road, a shopping centre with newsagency, a chippie, Mrs .Dents cafe, Sven Kalins furniture and electrical, doctors, dentists, tennis courts and a scout hut. Marvelous, and all gone now, the place is a ghost town. We walked to school, teased the Catholic kids and their Father priest. Rev Howel Witt was our man, and he became a Bishop of NW Australia. It's industry has gone, no Holdens, Chrysler, Pinnocks, very few have survived the 60 years. So sad.

Greatest failure . If only we had a crystal ball

Ahhh, lots of Poms but no Indians.....

Imagine encouraging low quality migrants with no ambition to reside in housing commission dwellings , with a welfare state mentality.

"...and then, once you're all settled in...we're gonna fill the area with State housing and flood it with all the ferals and dropkicks....

Would probably find drugs are a big issue in Elizabeth now like so many suburbs and cities,they're wreaking havoc.

Jimmy barns grew up there . Read his storey.

Those were good days. Hard work wasn't a crime. Give an abo a bottle of *McScruttocks 75% proof Isle of Gruinard Whisky type liquid* + 20 Winfield and he'd work on your land all day! Give his missus something cheap and shiny and she would wait *hand and foot* on Marlene, cook the supper and walk the kids back from school: whilst you drove the old Holden station wagon to Dan's Bar and drank Swan Lager till the sun went down!

Without all that drinking Radelaide would sure be one square place to live.

When my grandparents moved to Australia in 1970 they were taken to Elizabeth, my grandmother always would say " I didnt move to Australia to live in England". They moved to Hope Valley where they stayed until they died

Post-war society was universal and egalitarian. Neo-liberal ideology shat on all of that.

14:20 The Queen answers the door 😉

So many negative comments here bemoaning the way Elizabeth has turned out but there are worse places to live... although I can't think of any right now 🤔

8:35 cute..

8:22 most of these kids now are on first name terms with their dermatologists..me to actually

btw I still drive my 25 yo commodore custom produced for me in Elizabeth ..very proud to have an Australian car.

all made in China now..sad

When houses were affordable and people still had respect for one another..........

God how 🧀🧀🧀 as a South Australian,this has a cringe factor of 500+🤮🤣

Strange how society had gone downhill. Behaviour, manners, community, pride in oneself.

well I am glad my folks left Scotland in the early 1950's and settled in Elizabeth, was a great place to grow up!!

Too bad Elizabeth is a fucking shit hole now

Be funny if the sales scammer said in 50 years your house will be worth nothing! If you haven’t been drugged, bashed or murdered!

Good old days ......

A Place to Grow. Grow what? marijuana?
