@CanadianPolybiusi never said it was racist for only having people of one colour skin
It just reflects what Australia was actually like at that time, and Australia was mostly white. If I went to India and made a film about the local population, would the movie be racist for only having Indians in it? Christ.
I like the way the makers of this vid used a few newspaper articles as a transition - and, the old cars are great...
God, I'm so trying to get there.. Any help, anyone?
What a beauty, i wasnt around when any of this was filmed. Really interesting to see what the city's landscape has become.
Is it me but some of the men during this era were hot! So manly and rugged!
Peace and harmony is always boring for knuckleheads like you. Want real excitement? Then visit Somalia and live everyday like it's your last one. Somalia, it's got loads of action and adventure but you will probably wind up dead in no time, so enjoy your rush while it lasts buddy. And don't forget to take your family, so they too can share your exciting new life. As a Bonus, any returning survivors get a full set of lasting and vivid memories of their african experience to cherrish forever.
You are bread? I am fucking blown away by this. how are you even typing?
0.o this is a stupid racist old film
what's worse than a fake, rude, racist cold person? A particularly stupid one who generalises several million people into one forma. Projecting yourself much? Moron.
yet you felt the need yourself to comment? Why?
watch?v=sRDiJZqqenA check out my timelapse film of perth, took 4 months to make and a lot of sleepless nights!
I love the long cuts and overall pace of it. Definitely before ADHD became the norm of the masses!
I love the music played between 14:20 and 16:05. Who's that playing?
I love Perth and have lived here my whole life. I think that because we live in such a privileged place, a lot of Perth people lack compassion and empathy. We should appreciate what our great country has to offer, especially to those less fortunate than us. Superiority creates a breeding ground for ignorance and nonacceptance. Our politicians have a lot to answer for using refugees for easy votes. They place fear in the uneducated by using stop the boat campaigns. It's embarrassing.
Wow, so many people hating on Aussies in these comments, saying they are racist. That is not true in general, although I would say there is a strong current of xenophobia running through this country's identity, often whipped up by politicians for political gain. The "refugee-boat-people problem" is hardly ever out of the news here, at least in western australia.
is that you johnny ruffo?
Mr Whippy hasn't changed. nice to see the Perth Concert Hall and a few other buildings still there. Peak hour is a Hoot in this movie!, Wow it's so casual :)
@fontamoschiId fiber optic actually
it`s gotta be better than LA and that`s all I have to say about it
Yeah I have heard people in Melbourne are the best aussies to know. This 1 lady I knew from Melbourne was a nice lady.
already did :) it tasted great thanks .
go choke on that pizza
If your not going to say anything then u really should be the one to fuck off. I have looked in my own back yard and several others. Every backyard is bad in one way or another but the backyard down under is by far the worst. So you can take that and fuck off.
I gotta say it...you are one fucked up individual. Full of ill informed generalisations. Have you ever looked in your own backyard before you start slagging other countries. I could turn around to you and say you are a typical Yank, but I wont because that's just stooping to your level and it's an ignorant generalisation. Fuck off.
O , and another thing. Why in the hell should someone except being treated like shit just to make u scumbag aussies feel better about themselves????? Yes, people want their culture to be respected but nobody is going to respect hate !!! are u nuts,
Europe is shit though. Fact.
Holy SH*T! That ice cream van still uses the same tune!
Bye the way. I do believe that there are some good people in both Australia and New Zealand. There just don't seem to be enough to give these countries a strong reputation for having kind citizens.
Well I do try and keep in mind that not all people from the same place are the same. But until I actually meet a decent Aussie or Kiwi I hope you can see why I am going to have a hard time changing my mind. I try and see the good in all people from different cultures but Aussies and Kiwis make it a very difficult task. People from Fiji are wonderful though !!!
I don't think you're an awful person - just ignorant. Aussies are often loud and brash, and some of us who shouldn't have opinions at all voice them the loudest. But you cannot take 23 million people and tar them all with the same brush, just as you did with several million Kiwis - that just demonstrates that you are uneducated. Sometimes some national traits of a country can grate, so anything they do and say will just reinforce a stereotype. It seems that is what happened to you. All the best
If you put up with that many jokes then it seems like I'm not the only one that has a negative opinion of Aussies.Maybe there is something wrong with you if that many people made jokes about you. U actually seem to be more bitter than I do. I may not be as awful as you think. It's just I as well as a lot of other people seem to have bad encounters with people from down under. However all the Germans,English,Russians etc...I have met have all been the best people ever. Nice talking to you, bye ;)
I'm not mad, I'm just glad I don't know you. I've travelled the world and met amazing people in every country, as well as wankers. I lived in the UK where I put up with endless colonial jokes, but I don't hate EVERY SINGLE ENGLISHMAN. I've yet to find a country where EVERY SINGLE PERSON was rude, fake, racist and cold. Perhaps the people you met in Australia saw how shallow and bitter you were, and you resented that.
I agree with you all the way .
lol you must be Australian. And yeah, they all were. Don't get mad, I have met many people with this opinion of Aussies. Most of you don't present yourselves well at all. Sorry but that's just how it is. However most people I meet from countries other than Australia are actually quite lovely. I will say that people from Melbourne tend to be the nicest of all the other Aussies...but even they can be a bit awkward. I do love the Kangaroos though lol. Kiwi's are just as rude.
What, ABSOLUTELY EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY AUSTRALIAN YOU EVER MET was a bit fake, rude, racist and cold??? Perhaps the problem lies with you, Chaz...
i love australia but not it's people. Every aussie I have ever met has always been a bit fake,rude,racist and cold. To bad such awful people have to come from such a pretty country. If only nicer people lived in australia. Melbourne's people are sorta alright but Perth is the fuckin worst.
Back then people looks so happy and full of hope, nice video ;)
Wow, perth has hardly changed.
perth is a bogan hole.
Ha ha ha I was under the impression PERTH was a country town, but this just makes it appear as a seaside town, guess I was misinformed ha ha ha
I think this is a load of shit because I know Perth people are protective of the paradise they enjoy
After reading the comments below i am even more scared moving to Perth.
This White Australia does seem very idyllic and pleasant, almost better than britain itself.
man, come to Brazil and know what it is insecurity and ignorance
all the people hating on perth come on guys the people that are rude in this city are very few and all you are doing is basing the rest of the people in perth on them now thats just rude. ive been to heeps of places around the world and tbh theres no place like perth i love it over here. was born here and will die here
bit of a generalisation don't you think? You can disagree with me my views but there's no reason to take it out on a city thats home to millions.
Yes, I agree they can, however rapes generally occur on females wearing not much (which is known as slutty) travelling alone. It's disgusting that people could inflict such pain on one another but it does happen and these girls are the main target. That was all I was addressing
you sexist chauvinist women can dress how they like.
Then you know the drill...mine is 50/50....and I have respect /they respect me because we are Irish American.
Bear022013 - I live in a BLACK community thank you very much!
I hear ya! I moved in 2003 to Seattle, USA. When i go back to Perth for family visits it drives me insane at people's attitudes - i didnt realise just how racist everybody is until you leave and then go back! Not only that, the service in general?....it's like "what service????"
Yeah - well at least we have 4 seasons here and i actually like the snow! I am so over 40+ c degree heat!
Seattle? clouds rain clouds rain
I was merely trying to point out that there are very few crimes in Perth when compared to other major cities
check out that hipster at 3:14
totally agree with you and yes, i did live in Perth. I am now living in Seattle, USA since 2003.
There is a need for construction jobs in Perth due to its growth (mining boom), and the fact that so many are leaving the construction industry for the mining industry. For vocational education, try checking out the nearby TAFE (Technical and Further Education). It's probable that you'll get you qualifications through TAFE. Best of luck.
If you're into mining then you're in the right spot, most jobs here are mining based. Construction possibly.
after all that we didn't really get to see the city .. anyways its 2012 now and not only has Perth lost its way, and its identity, they are pulling down all its character and replacing it with disgusting pathetic buildings ! I could go on .... its very sad it has become a real crappy place to live
I'm also looking into the Construction side of jobs, what is Joinery like? is there many people that seek to get their properties done up?
I live in Scotland (UK) and my dad should be getting a job in Australia, he wants to bring all the family including my sister (who no longer lives with us) and her boy friend too. I want to know how the life is there right now, wheres the best place there and also, whats the job crisis like? UK is terrible and I'm 4 months away from leaving school to be getting a REAL LIFE Job. Thanks ~JoRdd
Perth is full of mining bogans.
Wow It's still the same not just Perth but the people itself I hope it stay like this for a years to come.
I'm going back to Perth, I've lived in London for the last 8 years and I'm sick of this bloody shit hole!!!! Will update if I get out there and I'm bored shitless though. London is a dump and nothing to be proud of.
I lived in perth from 1966-1969 i was dragged to the docks in 1969 to be returned to england ,i was 15 years old my parents went back in 1972 when i got married but only stayed there for 12 months what a great time i had a school there Mt Lawley High........
I'm heading to Australia for a backpack trip. Is Perth a city that allows you to go out to night clubs? Or is it boring? It seems to be isolated from other popular cities for backpackers and it makes me hesitate whether I should take Perth as a starting point of the trip or not
After living for 50 years in the UK and having been all over the world, I have to say, after 2 years of living in Perth, it all seems good so far. I LOVE the climate and the outdoor life but I do agree about the the Aussies, they always brag about Australia without knowing much about anywhere else, I sat with the most boring bastard ever at a BBQ, he slagged off most of Europe and when I asked him when he was last over, there it turned out he had NEVER been out of Perth!!! what a wanker!!!!!
I was born here and my children and my little grandchildren... never had any problem it is a beautiful city and I wouldn't live anywhere else in the world. I don't like hustle and bustle and huge crime waves as in other cities. Perth is lay back and I LOVE it! It's not a competition trying to keep up with the world I would like to let it stay the way it is it is thank you for this well put together video I enjoyed it very much! :))
I have to agree with you on that one. I left perth 15 years ago at the age of 26 and always go back but found myself somehow "suffocating" from the ignorance and the uncultured society. This said, without prejudice/ mean intentions. It's just an objective observation.They keep on building it and just wanting to feel cosmopolitan but it's start with the mentality. You cannot "buy" culture. Perth society is forever trying to catch up to the rest of the world. It is however a natural beauty
Sweet place to live in 1965 much like over here in NZ but how times have changed since illegals, overstayers and benefit bludgers have made them both financially strapped and much more violent places to live.Deport all illegals, overstayers and can the benefit this is the only way these places will turn back time and make them safe places to once again raise a family
I lived in Perth I had a good job and a good woman lucky city for me.Cant say anything bad about Perth.
Europe is OK lived there for a while and now in NZ. I also lived in Perth for number of years and will be going back soon. Europe has a lot to offer in terms of culture and yes Prague is a very cool place but Perth is economically probably one of the best places to be right now. As for crime, its all over the world and Europe on the verge bankruptcy and the only safe haven is in places that produce precious metals like WA. So lets see how you all go over the next 2 years. Perthites are cool
@brinkworthroseann Im not having a go at you but this is exactly why I left Perth. Lived there for 23 years of my 30 year life but it was this attitude that made me leave. I love Perth but it is hardly the best city in the world. After spending a year in Europe I came back and found Perth people very uncultured and ignorant of anywhere else. I guess it's the isolation that does it but I just don't get it.
Neat, thanks Oz.
@ProXJoss High Australian dollar and im not talking about tourism im talking about attracting people to come live and start a life. There has just been a list of the top 10 liveable cities around the world. Go have a look they all have one think in common, they are all relatively expensive and if you don't like emu bitter that is your choice, and please emu bitter is not an expensive beer.
@ProXJoss umm ye it is more often or not the more expensive it is to live somewhere the higher the standard of living which attracts people. Which then go onto affect other aspects of the city, crime, environment infrastructure , health care...etc. nice one idiot.
Deliciously old fashion ! It's incredible how much everything has changed in less than 50 years !
Hahahaha the taxi driver got out of the car, greeted him, then opened the door for him. I'd like to see that happen now
@MrSmile1087 In another video you say you are Indian. I think you are lying. I can understand that as I work with lots of Indians and know what they are like.
@MrSmile1087 Haha, dubai. If it wasn't for oil money they'd still be living in caves. The whole place has been built by foreigners because they can't do it themselves. Kiss a girl on the cheek in dubai and you'll end up in jail. Talk about backwards. I guess your a student, taking advantage of our superior schools. Or your a refugee taking advantage of our welfare. Either way, it sounds like you don't like it here so you should bugger off.
@MrSmile1087 Why don't you just return to your native India and it's caste system, racism and general crappiness? Your dreaming if you think Canada is better. I've been there and it's certainly not the case.
@MrSmile1087 And dont come back or Ill rob ya!
I didn't know there was life in Perth... :P JOKING!! Perth is beautiful.
@bobbyknight1970 Even in the very early 90's it was as friendly. The change has been so massive in the past 15 years mainly.
It was a much friendlier Perth back then.
everyone seems unknowing..wait wait i guess they were unknowing on how the future would change so much...the idealic life is long gone..people used to say perth was like a large country town..in no way does that apply anymore..esspecially over the last 15 years or so...and to be honest if i was alive back then i would had been bored shittless...there is not one exciting thing in this film ..oh wait there is a ice cream truck..thats pretty awesome!
wow so different lol
The Connie at the airport and the B727s! wow!!!
What a nice taxi man. He opened the door for the passenger.
Haha, back in the days when Perth's airport was on Maylands Peninsula. :P
What an excruciatingly beautiful work of sonic art.
Quality music, no doubt. I don't care much for the singer, but the music is very good.
Happy 45th birthday dear Heath today is your day forever, heaven is partying
I have read a few comments on here mentioning Heath (i'm assuming Heath Ledger), i was curious because i don't know, what is the association between this song and him? Was there a video of him with this song in it?
Heath died on one of my birthdays as a young kid, I am 24 now and still remember where I was hearing it on the radio, not a birthday goes by where I dont think of him
life goes onmemories still
Been listening to this since i was a kid but never made a comment. Just want to say that this song has accompanied me through my hardest times, in the lowest of the low, when food tasted like nothing and slept early to stop thinking. Just recently things turned better.I'm doing really well now, food tastes great, I go to the gym and also sleep well(sometimes lol).To anyone reading this, when the world is kicking you so hard you feel you can't get up. You get up twice as hard. Never give up. Never lose hope. Never say you can't. You are the best.
Can’t really understand what he saying
It sounds like a final battle scene, one in where you know you might be defeated.
