- I have not edited these photos as I wanted to keep within the theme of time. Editing photos from decades ago totally wrecks the understanding of the era. Well....that's my line of thinking anyway.....

Thank you for those..
I am 75 and that really took me back..
I was a teen in those days..
You are most welcome :-)
Was a £10 pom and lived in clontarf still miss Australia . Great pictures
Thanks , enjoyed the old photos, especially those of the old Indooroopilly shopping town , as a boarder at nearby St Peters Lutheran college 1974 - 1976, we were allowed out after school to visit Shoppingtown . Good memories 😊
Those were the days!
The much under-rated Brisbane, in the eyes of the southerners, who are now flocking here in their droves, was always a sleeping jewel.
That is so true!
~ 10,000 people / week since Joe's and Bruce Small's days and that's four + decades ago.
Sweet sweet memories❤😪🤧thank you👍
My pleasure :-)
If I remember correctly the Roller Coaster ride called 'The Wild Mouse' shown here at the Ekka, had a accident where a car came off the rails and was shut down after that (1974-5?) I also remember about 1976 the ride 'Ski Jump' threw off a passenger and almost cut them in half - I was there on that day and saw the ambulances arriving..Ahh the days of living dangerously! (But to us, it was just normal)
I cant remember the ride name, but do remember the incident. I am sort of remembering that it was an overcast day. What a strange thing for me to remember! That would have been awful. You are right though......that was back in the "normal" days. We would get on a ride no matter which way it pointed or how fast it went....without a second thought!
I remember reading an article about the accident .The accidents sound shocking . There is Trove for research , although I think it covers earlier years prior to 74/75.
@@indigocheetah4172 Trove is a bit messy with Brisbane papers (of course) but I was able to search for some 1975 Telegraph pages. I was looking for the SGIO theatre and there was an article about Taming of the Shrew that starred Diane Cilento. I saw it as a matinee on a school excursion. Little did I know I was actually watching a future international star.
WOW YOU WERE SO LUCKY TO GO THERE DID YOU MEET THE BEE GEES THERE ? 🤗🤗🙂😉☺😊♀♂📳♑♍☮✝
I didn't know that Indooroopilly Shopping Centre had a fountain , many thanks for posting.
I am trying to remember whether it was Indooroopilly or Garden City. I am sure it was Indooroopilly. It was quite spectacular back in the day!
@@grungemuppet7993 , there is a photo of the fountain . It must have been removed when I have been to Indro.
@@indigocheetah4172 Yeah it was removed decades ago.....
Joy for living through all this and sadness, for what we have lost
Thank you for these photos.
One is of particular interest to me - the Hornibrook highway bridge photo. The photo must almost have been taken in my grandfather's front yard in Clontarf, on top of the prominence overlooking the bridge, river and bay.
In another happy coincidence, my father was for some time a commercial traveller, and one of the companies that he represented was Crystal clothing.
In 1960 I sailed a bamboo raft down the river for 80km, and many amateur photographers came as we went through the centre of Brisbane to take pictures. Were you one of them? (Replying to this comment will reach me.)
Hi Jim......the photo of the Hornibrook Highway would have been taken sometime after 1963 and would have been taken by my Mum or Dad. My father had a posting to Redcliffe (fromTownsville) as a Clerk of the Court in around 1963 before sitting for the bar and becoming s solicitor in the late 60s. He set up a practice in both Sandgate and Margate. I actually still miss the old Hornibrook. The "thump, thump" as you drove over it after paying a 2 cent toll!
HELLO OR GOOD DAY MATE IS THERE ANY PHOTOS OF THE BEE GEES THERE IN 1960? THEY LIVED IN BRISBANE
Thanks for the phots of Brisbane in the 1960’s, but why is the soundtrack music from the 1940’s?
Because its a song that I felt fit the video.
A very interesting photo of the Sovereign Hotel in Charters Towers at the very beginning! The Towers was known as 'The World" in times gone by, but in Brisbane??
That was my error...lol. I realized that I had put a North Qld photo in the Brisbane pile, and by the time I uploaded the photo story.....it was going to take too much to edit it at the time. I planned to go back and fix it when I had a chance. I had completely forgot! Thank you for the reminder 🙂
Ha, I went to school there and had a flicker in my brain watching this but couldn't figure out why. Cheers!

Some great old photos….. brings back the memories of places we saw and went in the 60s. Lived in a govt “E” type house just like that one ( I think about 4th photo) at Westmar for a few years in the 80s. BUT that music 😬. Swing music from the 40s? Maybe some Beatles would have been better 😁.
That indeed was a Government House and we lived in it! What a good idea about putting the Beatles though. At the time I made this, I was just looking for something long enough to go the length of the video. I will see what I can put together with someone like The Beatles or The Doors. Great idea!
These are the final images of the victim before they were brutally murdered.
Thats my panel van parked in the begging slide . So if you see it rockin...
Don't come a knockin' 😂😂
Hi Grunge Muppet, Great video. There's a swing song starts at 4.30:....I know it's a Carlos Casamorino medley but you don't happen to know what that song is??? or any other commenters??
Hi..... I genuinely don't know what that one is. I will do some investigating though.....and get back to you! 🙂
@@grungemuppet7993 Hey i think i found it or something very close....i think it's 'Birdland' by 'Weather Report'....a jazz/rock band from the 70's. There's probably dozens of versions of the song been done over the years. Cheers.
Wonderful
