No wokes, mob phones, cars that all look the same, enormous fatso's, Mc Donalds, alphabet people, no PC, quite a large list of stuff we now put up with. |
|
That was great :) |
|
The 353 bus, the one I caught all my childhood. |
|
The city i remember as a child |
|
We arrived in 1970 from uk ..what a paradise to live in such joy growing up in perth ghee i wish it was like this now for my grandchildren to grow up in |
|
That was good to see. As a young teen, I used to work at the Boans store in Perth but in early 1972 I was facing a gold card from the Federal government called conscription hahaha. |
|
Omgosh! Hearing the Paper Boy sing out again! |
|
Shithole |
|
Thus was two years before we came here, so nice back then. |
|
This was fun to watch. Seeing my childhood all over again. This is exactly how Perth was when emigrated from the UK. Cheers |
|
I was 20 back then and remember the milk delivery in the night and the baker bringing bread during the day. Also when the built the Tonkin hwy, we were the only car on it. |
|
perth is best city |
|
gee, I work in construction in Perth now, some of those houses are still here today! I first came to Perth in 1982, me and my mates found a great pub, out towards the hills. Could I find it when I came back here to live in 2008??? I met up with some work mates out Gosnells. Standing in the pub I was telling the boys the story, I looked up and around me and geez, I was standing in it!!! Didn't recognise it with all the houses etc around the area lol |
|
I have travelled a lot around this planet, and this city (where I spent a majority of my time due to work) is one of the worst places I have ever been. Due to how boring it is, due to it's crime from aboriginals, due to the insane prices, and I could go on. It has always been God's waiting room. You don't even feel alive here. Just avoid it like the plague. |
|
Depressing place |
|
We didn't arrive from Blighty until 74 but as I sold newspapers on the streets of Perth soon after arriving this video really brings back some memories.Thanks for uploading. |
|
that was the only outdoor escalator in the city and its still there! it was near myers opposite, then, what was the post office, yes those were the days when the prams used to go on the backs on the buses! |
|
Isn’t it beautiful that no one is on a phone and they’re actually talking to each other? |
|
No one in shitty sportswear |
|
I was 8 then still in Sydney until we moved to Perth in 75,been here ever since. |
|
Its a great city 2024...but its crime rate is increasing and it faces the muslim threat |
|
INVADED today by Chinese and Indian... |
|
The cop asking the young fella not to sit on the planter box and the gent listening and standing up is the biggest change in the whole film. What would happen today? The other big change is how slim everyone was back then. |
|
A shame its now a shit hole |
|
I was 15 then and this video brought back great memories. Life was so much less complicated then! |
|
Before the Indian invasion |
|
Privileged to live here |
|
loved the squeaky old MTT busrelaxing in Supreme Court Gardensviews of the city from Matilda Bay (Crawley)... and the men's sideburns! |
|
no such thing as a mobile back then |
|
I was born in Perth 1972 and loved growing up in Scarborough during the 70s and 80s in sunny WA. |
|
Wow. This video is only slightly less boring than Perth.But life was probably better then too. |
|
Already an americanised car dependent city in 1972. I was born in 1972 and I'm thankful I was born in the original Perth. There wasn't much to do here 25 years ago. I can't imagine how boring Perth would have been with 750,000 people. |
|
Ah, such a peaceful homogeneous society.As it should be. |
|
Much better then, lie Labor destroying it, toxic solicalists |
|
I think you captured the daily grind back then. I even recognised the woman collecting donations. |
|
Men were men and women were women in those days. Women had so much class back then, look at them now…to busy working out their pro-nouns! If only we could turn back time! |
|
wow, not a meth head in sight. |
|
My family came to Perth in 1970 and it was a lot better. Home security wasn't the issue like now. What went wrong was immigration from the wrong places. Just watch the news for evidence. |
|
Back in the good ole days when you could get a skin full of piss in ya and drive your EK home without getting busted by the cops |
|
To many people now a bigger shithole every year |
|
We emigrated there from UK in 1973 with2 kids (4 & 2). Thought we were in heaven. TBH it hasn't changed a lot. Great weather, if you like it hot that is !!! No unemployment, loads of money around for the hard worker. I was a glazier before I retired and my last years pay was $175,000 au. Wouldn't get that in UK. Loved every minute here. The good life is here if you want it. |
|
When we had belts of bush land between suburbs and kids (myself included) could take their motorbike down the street and ride all day. Then the greedy councils took every inch and if it wasn’t a house it was a golf course or bunnings. Ruined it for the next generation. |
|
I looked, but couldn't find myself. :-) |
|
So when did Hiviz become the fashion of Perth? |
|
LOL - the year I was born ...........in Perth too |
|
9:00I don't recognise this spot. I would have been a two year old child at this point so quite possibly got pushed or driven past this corner several times. It looks like it may be around the Horseshoe Bridge area? It looks like a completely different city... |
|
Great city ..I was 7 that year ..the years have flown by |
|
perth was a great city in the 1970s its a shame it as now become a toilet (sh..t hole) |
|
Perth was a lot better back then. |
|
Hope someone recognises themselves, it would be enlightening. |
|
not many japanese cars then |
|
perth was not full of all those bums then not like now central perth is a shithole |
|
I want to cry when I look at the beautiful old architecture in this film, compared to the eyesores that clog Perth today. |
|
The Trolley Buses were so nice. |
|
The house jn Floreat at 7:25 is still around in 2024. |
|
In 1975 a visitor to Perth told me that the drive from the Causeway to UWA is the best in the world.Unfortunately, that drive has been destroyed by the Elizabeth Quay development and the congestion it has created. |
|
Can't imagine having to cut down a Jarrah tree by hand. It's a nightmare just trying to split it for firewood. |
|
I'm 71 now, it was such a long, long time ago. |
|
2:08 These days that forklift driver would could lose his license for driving along with the load swaying up in the air like that. It's a sure way to get someone killed. |
|
Wow so beautiful.I will always love Perth, my birth home and favourite place on earth |
|
Bon Scott's WA paradise zoneThat why its one among zillion's reason i love Perth and want to visit if God let me win in lottery lol !!!!!God bless WA |
|
This feels like a 1000 years ago now. How times change people |
|
Laying the foundations for climate change |
|
Lovely Perth... the music...completes the ambience... |
|
@itchyvet An AngloSaxon Celtic descendant of the original Colonial population from 1788 onwards is what we term as a 'dinky-di' Aussie. Be proud of your heritage, country and race mate. These are the people that made Australia what it is today. But really GOD'S BLESSINGS made Australia what it is today because these generations honoured and worshipped the God of the Bible who gave them this land Australia. Current day Australia is spiritually very sick and apostate. This of course has been the agenda for a very long time to attack our Christian English societies and destroy them and take them over. They're doing a good job those Jesuits. Protestantism is practically dead. Sick of 'political correctness' a term invented by Chairman Mao BTW. |
|
I am fond of the UWA campus, Winthrop Hall |
|
Does anyone know the name of the song at 0:40? thanks |
|
Put the animals back on the land and the trees, trees. They're not there now. It's all be turned to miles of wheat and sugar. Useless junk. |
|
No Irish Need Apply would've been on the front door or windows in almost every Perth outlet or am l over exaggerating? |
|
You don’t see the dams over flowing much these days |
|
Not a fat person in sight |
|
Makes me sick seeing all this beautiful houses subdivided with no garden. |
|
Perth 2021 - dont come here unless you live here |
|
Give me a time machine, better day's. |
|
Before the boomers ruined it |
|
Propaganda at its best. Shows nothing of the old Perth, now demolished. Guilford amazing history... Nothing. 14 century maps of wa coast showing Perth, gearlton, Darwin as jarwin. Turkish admiral peri ressi. Perth was re discovered! |
|
They forgot to say, ‘giant white pointer sharks await the struggling swimmer, or lone surfer, gaily near the shores, basking in the western sun’ |
|
So nice to pigs outside enjoying life rather than in a hell hole. |
|
@3.00 when did York and Northam become southwest towns? Obviously a production by o’siders. |
|
Thanks for that. Wonder what that footy oval was. |
|
2:51 is no one upset by those beautiful trees they are cutting and the CO2 emissions from the Kwinana factory?Ah yes environmental destruction presented in a nice warm soothing song! |
|
Beautiful times - and when and why did Australians stop speaking so mellifluously...? |
|
I remember every building, ,, trams. Trolley buses, king’s Park without a Brewery building in sight. Perth is still home to me. What a fantastic video to see and reminisce about what we had and what we have become. A humongous City with new suburbs that have grown out of nowhere. No pine plantation left. No easy pace of life. High rise buildings are the norm. I’m too bloody old to like what is happening. But Perth is, and will be home forever. |
|
They got rid of those great trolley buses not long after this film. I often wonder why. Funny thing they are now popular in the more advanced and enlightened parts of Europe. |
|
St bigittes church and the nuns next door on fitsgerald st |
|
The best buildings in Perth are all the Brutalist ones. |
|
Some serious nostalgia going on at my place right now. |
|
What a crock!! |
|
really hits home for me. and im 19 |
|
Money decisions are often wrong decisions |
|
1:10 that's the corner of St George's Tce and Barrack st......all gone now...criminal |
|
...Mundaring wier full.... yeah about 30yrs ago... usually about 20% now on average |
|
One of my mates tried to rob a bank on horseback when I was a kid, good times! |
|
Righto , which one of you funny buggers painted the swans white?. |
|
We had a “Pizza Showtime” in the late 70’s ! |
|
The destruction of old buildings like these was done globally from roughly 1900-present. Many excuses litter the narrative; We want modern! We want a war! It was in the way etc etc. Perhaps it was so the current civilization would forget the past... accept their new reality....not to as questions. Do a 20min search on the Phoenicians, Tartaria and Mudfloods. You'll never look at cities the same. |
|
There are still hundreds of old buildings that have been preserved, Heritage week, April - May is a great time to explore some of them and learn more about their history |
|
Look at all those white people. Not a sign of ethnic culture or indigenous recognition to be found anywhere . It’s nice to romanticize this period but most people tend to forget the only people allowed on tv without being mad fun of was generally white people. It was so assimilated that u can’t even tell it’s Perth kinda looks like Britain to me. But of course that period was not a good time for someone who was “ethnic” or the original owners of this country. Just my thoughts on it . Philosophically and realistically speaking. |

old growth loggers are cancer |
