In 1963, when i was 17 years old, i was invited to spend 4 weeks in South Australia to visit two elderly relatives, i had never met. One lived in Adelaide, who had a daughter living in Elizabeth. The other was a sheep station owner from Wilpena Pound I spent Two weeks with each relative. In Adelaide i often went to Glenelg beach, and saw a couple of movies. On the sheep station, i rode a horse for the first time. It was my first holiday away from home and the experience was invigorating. I think Elizabeth was very new in 1963.
I lived in Adelaide back in the mid 90's, used to hang out quite a bit in Elizabeth and party with mates who lived there (have many stories of good times there). I haven't been back for a while, I hear it's changed a lot.
This is a great film!! I must admit it's a bit before my time by a few years, those white wooden fences were starting to fall apart when I was a kid. Tanya Peplinski's brother had a red EK Holden like that in 1985 or so... We felt so cool cruising around in that, great times
Aussie Roberts that's a great idea. Next time I'm back down I will see how many locations I can find, take some photos and video then post a Then and Now video.
Hello Liam. No more videos, but you can find some images of the old factory and images related to it and Bill Pinnock here: playfordspast.recollect.net.au/nodes/search?keywords=Pinnocks&submitidx=Go Hope this is helpful. Cheers for watching mate - much appreciated...Will 🙏
Hi Geoff. The information centre appears to have been located right next to the Cambridge Flats - which would place it on Philip Highway right in the city centre. Cheers for watching mate, much appreciated 🙏
Nice one. I might order that in. I have a book ordered called "From Royal Names to Dusty Plains" with first hand accounts of life in 1950's and 60's Elizabeth from Elizabeth's original settlers. Eagerly waiting its arrival :-) Is The Garden City book pictures only?
Reid Murray Developments (R.M.D)subdivided nearby Parahills circa 1956. A Melbourne developer that went bankrupt. R.M.D. set up offices in London to attract new British migrants prior to their trip to Australia. Salesmen met new immigrants at Fremantle dock
I missed this part of Elizabeth's history - being born in 1970, by the time I was becoming aware of my surroundings this period was by and large over. My experience of Elizabeth begins at its "decline" in terms of opportunities. Studying this time period is like studying someone else's town. And yet everything that comes before informs and influences what comes afterwards, or course. I find Elizabeth's history incredibly rich and complex. Deserving of far better than the very broad-stroke judgements it and its people tends to be subjected to.Thank you for watching, much appreciated 🙏🍷

Glad this brought back good memories for you mate. And, yes, it has changed, a lot
For the better I hear!

I bet you did - haha. It's very important when you're a teenager to feel cool too, lol.
20:30 thats the river mouth at port Noarlunga not Elizabeth
Would be cool to see pictures or a video showing the places they showed in this video what they look like today.

Thank you for posting my family came to Elizabeth in 64 do you know where that information centre was located ?

I've got a book called "ELIZABETH The garden city"
Many interesting images.

"What about me? What are the shops like?" Hahahahaha
It was a different time to be sure 😀
It used to be a great safe place to live.
