gosh, thank you ,beautiful footage.
That traffic jam is priceless now ! Everyone was driving collectors items and had no idea
And now they are over priced.
And weren’t that much when they were new.
Check out the people jumping off the ferry! Never be allowed nowadays!
LOL I know. That was awesome.
lol. We learn from history that we learn nothing from history. Still the same problems.
Saw my 64 Falcon and my 65 EH Holden in that lot (well, the same models). Should never have sold them. Worth a fortune now 😅
Wow good video I just loved spying the old cars Holdens Fords VW Morris and more. :)
"The authorities have tried _everything!"_ (Like tearing up tram tracks and burning the trams, subsidising the motor industry, delaying road projects, blocking airport railway lines, short changing the railways, granting permission to build "car suburbs"...shall I go on?)
It hasn’t changed since this clip was made. 😏
My Grandfather Was Born In 1912 And He Moved To Melbourne In 1965 While The Planes Were Small In New Zealand
Hasn’t changed in 60 years. I wonder what the next 60 years will be like
They thought it was bad back then, should see it today, chaos!!
Lived I the country or regional areas all my life. Visited the big smoke. Yah can have that.
Real men jump off ferries !👌 Hate to think what OSH do if did that today 🥺😳
Am I blind? Where are sideview mirrors?
No, they aren't there. Until the late 1960s, passenger-side mirrors were an optional extra. In Australia, this is the left-hand side.
Back then, people only looked forward...never backwards 🤣
(Also note that 1960s cars had fewer blind spots through the glass...they've now shot back in time to the late 1930s where great swathes of steel block your view.)
I thought the trams were removed from Sydney's streets to solve the traffic congestion they caused? Funny how the solution then (as has been forever) is to 'build more roads'. How about investing in comprehensive public transport - and not selling parts off to the private sector.
Well may I say we had a different Australian National Anthem back then . We are the Lucky Country in Australia and lest we forget
"The Lucky Ones Get Taught"
and arrive alive at the G.
