Royal Melbourne Show - Rare Super 8 Footage

- The Royal Melbourne Show as it was in the mid 1960s. This never seen before footage was captured by my father-in-law when he upgraded to a brand new Super 8 camera. "The Show" was the go-to destination for just about every Victorian family - particularly city slickers who could experience the country first hand with sheep shearing, wood-chopping, cattle, pig and poultry pavilions - and all celebrated with a public holiday (known as "Show Day"). There were show-bags back then too - some free and the rest cheap - at a time when they really were "promotional". This footage contains some scenes of the "Mad Mouse" - the highlight of "sideshow alley", along with folk dancers and other children's rides. The footage is not automotive, but may be of interest.

I went on the Mad Mouse when I was nine.....never again. Ever.
Glad it was you and not me.
I used to look up and think those cars are gonna come up the rails and land on the ground.
The rides at Luna Park were my style.
Lol
@@garynewton1263 Yeah mate, I fairly shit my pants....it was scary as f**k.😂
@@stevemurrell6167 yeah. I think the rides at Luna Park are a safe bet.
Me and my mate were king of the Spider ride at Luna Park in the 80s. We used to be able to spin the seats or cars whatever you wanna call them and when we got off we had all these other teenagers coming up asking us how do you do that shit?
What about the fuckin Zipper? What a bloody spew machine that was. 🤢
The mad mouse was hell on earth
Before so called fast foods not an obese person in sight
I was Mad enough to go on the Mad mouse at the Royal Show I think about 1966. (Not jerky work on the camera and good quality film still. Not your average amateur photographer.) Good memories of a day with grandpa in the 50's and 60's showbags to gorge myself on and wonderful animals and of course the odd ridiculous ride that MUST be taken.
Many years later I had a second coming at the Show Grounds at the Trots on Saturday night
Were the Trots held at the showgrounds from time to time in the 70s?
I remember the channel 7 show with Mary Hardy and what's his name? And when a race was about to start Bill Collins came on.
Mind you on saturday nights my mum and dad would be hanging out with my best mates mum and dad drinking and smoking while watching that show.
Us kids would be out spotlighting or playing knick knack and run.
Good times.
Thanks for sharing this
I used to look up at the Mad Mouse every year we went.
It scared the hell out of me when I saw those cars approaching the bend, I thought they would come off and land on the ground.
The chair lift was my favourite part of the RMS.
Loved the clip. Really took me back like everyone else 😊
Takes me back. Thank You.
That turn at the top would scare the crap out of me every time can still remember feeling that it was going straight off
Lol I think we all remember it that way...terrifying 😂🤣😂
I remember this ride at the show - I felt like it went on 2 wheels around the corners! but it doesn’t look like it here.
I remember the corners, so fast scared me silly but no way would you get me on that ride now too OLD!!!🤗🎢
Cool!
A time capsule.
I wish l had the balls to ride this when l was younger.
So you enjoy pooing your pants?😂 Mate, you should be glad you didn't.👍
Judging by peoples' reminiscences here, it's sounding like the Mad Mouse was almost a MAD MAX kind of inspiration! 😁😆😅🤣 We ARE talking the same country!! All things Strine and all ! ! !
Relatives used to ask me "Why are you shooting film of things we're doing when we're having fun?"
Now, decades later, they're saying THANKS for locking in the memories!
That's what THIS grandpa was doing!!
Are you sure it's Super 8? Looks as good as 16mm to me.
damn, my mum has been on this ride in the mid 1990s, She sad because it's gone and she love the and never wants to go on the ride forever (she didn't like it)
Do you have “my family” stick figure sticker lol
