      This is great, but it's not 1920s. @1:25, entering the CBD, you can see Alcaston House (2 Collins St), on the corner there, that was built in 1939, so this footage must be from either 1939 or the mid 40s.

    Trying to pinpoint the date I would say it would be sometime after March 1929. (The "Regent" on Collins Street, Melbourne opened on 15th March and the cable trams on Collins Street were converted to electric traction around this time also). The colour and sound certainly added some realism and made the film so much more fascinating. Thank you!

      Unfortunately by saying 1920s in the title, so many are jumping to the conclusion that this is 100 years or older.
      The more reliable date estimates at 11:19 of 1928 to 1932 are not being noticed or absorbed.

      Alcastan House also visible at 1:24. It was built 1929/1930. As the video approaches the corner of Collins and Spring it appears there may be some scaffolding so maybe not 100% complete but it does look to be at full height. So I would think actually early 1930

I've got some little box brownie pictures of them outside the shack, similar construction to the one you can see in this footage at around 4.52. And the blue Mountains views havent changed all that much - just a few more rails in that area plus a lot more tourists. Really lovely. Thanks again.

      @@NASS_0 No worries mate. Your videos are excellent. In this one in question, where you're not sure of it's Manly or not. Well that building up on the hill looks very similar to St Joseph's College in Hunter's Hill. I lived near Joey's in the 80s and used to go to Manly every weekend and we could see that college building at Manly up on the hill from the beach. But the estuaries don't look the right shape for either Manly or Hunter's Hill, so I'm not 100 percent sure of either. But the building looks ever more similar to Saint Ignatius' College Riverview. And that one is high up on a hill like the rest. But it's closer to the water than the others like in your video. And the ferries used to travel all around there, and still do. So I'm at a loss as to which building it actually is. Did you ever find out just where it is? That would be interesting to know. Because the three building all look very similar. Cheers mate.
