	quick shout out to imperialism
	Good to see this as we cannot go to the Republic of WA anymore
	The 60s brought the brutal style of architecture , many beautiful old well built buildings demolished for one reason , which was part of the Slow March to Socialism. We will be run by a brutal communist style government 2021 onwardsYou may laugh now, but you won't be in the next few years.
	If you visit Perth on the basis of this, you'll be disappointed. If a building reaches 70 years old it is pulled down. If it reaches 120 it would still be pulled down, except perhaps for the facade.
	What the building from the thumbnail? Is that gone now?
	5:17 gotta love the bare feet
	Great video. Unsure why so many dislikes ...
	Perth is now doing a wonderful job is preserving some of the old city facades as it develops the city further.
	Is this a film that was made to attract immigrants from UK?
	Very interesting. Love the old architecture.
	Unfortunately Perth has lost its charm. Such a shame.
	Great film, thanks for posting.
	funny enough i have actually been on the train at 1:19 and that was somewhere between 1989 and 91
	Big LIKE and Sub !!
	I am 82 and can remember so much and oh boy I miss it and totally hate this modern way
	I want to visit Perth so bad
	I'm from New Zealand and first visited Perth with my family in May 1981 as a 14 years old.I immediately had a strong connection with Perth's beauty and revisited in 1987 , living there for 8 months on Monash Ave in Nedlands behind Kings Park. A great location being close to the beautifully designed University and Swan River along beautiful suburbs such as Dalkeith and Cottesloe.The Indian ocean and it's beaches were simply wonderful playgrounds. Revisited 18 months later in 1989 for a week on my way to England and then again with my wife in 1993. Perth has grown rapidly since then and I hope that hasn't had a negative effect on what I classed as Australia's gem city.
	What happened to brilliant architectures in Perth?? All new buildings now are boring rectangular monoliths!4:26 When Mundaring Wier was full. Its last overflow was in the 90s :(
	I guess York and Northam could be considered southwest of the rest of Australia, but they're definitely northeast of Perth.
	6:25 - Was hooking prams on the back of buses done anywhere else in Australia?7:50 - Footage of the WAFL match between West Perth and Claremont at Claremont Oval on the 21st of August. West Perth 15.7 (97) defeated Claremont 6.6 (42), before a crowd of 2,482.
	FYI, my first book Vanishing Ink, published in 1974 in Perth, capturing the historic and vanishing architecture of Western Australia. This is a video of the book with audio of the ABC TV interview when that book was launched so many decades ago. A copy of the book is available for review at the National Library of Australia.

	Population 300,000. It's now over 2 million and you're battling to find a dinky-di Aussie. Sad
	nice then by fay...civilized...
	Ahh... home. I miss it terribly after 25 years away.
	The good old days when people were honest,caring, helpful, helped one another, genuine, humble, and NOT selfish and worked hard and were happy with what they had..
	@ 0:50 The sailor seems awfully interested in that guy for some reason ?
	What year do you think this was filmed
	I was wondering if I could use for a documentary I am making?
	All the culture disappeared when they knocked such historical buildings down. That's Perth's main issue, just houses and no certain cultural building style except for Fremantle and some other small spots.
	How much money would be raised by OHS? There would be a gold mine waiting for them with those two loggers.
	Seeing London Court being the same as it is today is very nice and has not been bulldozed for some stupid bullshit office tower
	2 questions:What is that church at 6:02 please? Is it still there also?Thanks
	Perth is a must to see https://youtu.be/PA0XVqZKoP4
	a hellhole of mind crushing boredom and parochial closed mindedness
	no aboriginal ? were they not allowed to be in the city?
	How Boring..... and nothing has changed.
	It's sad to watch this old footage and see how Perth's history has been destroyed along with it's culture.It was such a friendly place up until the early 80's, shame it has been transformed into such an antisocial shithole today.
	Beautiful looking city. It reminds me of Plymouth, in England. The only difference is that the city looks more pedestrian friendly, and car and truck friendly than Plymouth. I'd like to visit Perth one of these days. I've heard by some people that it's a boring city to visit. I reckon so if you expect more than what a city is willing to give you. I believe in touring a city for a few days to get a feel for what it's like before making my own decision.
	Our city really has come a long way. We've even learned how to pronounce Mundaring properly.
	what a time-tunnel trip this one is!! This was filmed in the year I arrived in Oz and brought back a huge array of memories. For all that many of the buildings were quite striking, they weren't actually "old", they weren't genuine renaissance or medieval buildings - just mid-20thcentury reproductions for the most part. Let 'em go, I say. Europeans and Brits are paying through the nose for one series of renovations and upgrades after another to keep their old piles useable. Forget 'em, we've got better and more ethical things to spend our hard-earned pennies on.
	Pre-1950's Perth (CBD) had so many wonderful old buildings it was amazing. But business wanted a 'new' modern-looking city and money talks the loudest, so the victorian-era buildings were demolished so hideous office towers and ugly commercial buildings could move in. It's ironic how most of those ugly 1950's-60's buildings in the CBD have now been demolished and replaced with newer ugly buildings. You can't stop progress but we still need to limit how destructive it is on historical sites.
	Can't believe they didn't show the beach, would have been funny to see what they were wearing in those days.
	The Trolley Bus featured in the film is now on display at Revolutions Transport Museum, Whiteman Park. Check it out!
	5:18 The Triumph of the Will.
	It was a great place once. Small, yes but with the POTENTIAL to grow and modernise while keeping much of its history and charm. What has wrecked the place is idiot political fools believing that motor cars were more important than lifestyles and secondly as someone else has said, the flooding in of all kinds of losers who do not understand the meaning of respect. JC, you are so so right with your comment.
	Charming movie. Why are 90% of the comments on here so vile? Time for you tubers to mature a bit, I think.
	We should've kept the fucking steam trains. Steam trains ROCK
	its not actually the perth ppl that can't merge properply, what u r witnessing are the bloody annoying eastern staters & new zealanders who have flocked here in their millions like a flock of seagulls to a discarded chip. In my opinion those losers have ruined this once beautiful city, with their bogan & derolic cultures.
	KALAMANUDA rofl
	Now this great city has evolved into a modern metropolis of almost 2 million, yet when you look at Adelaide it still looks like this even now lmao
	The destruction of Perth
	So different, in some respects maybe better than today
	@fuzzjunky Wow looks different today - but quite beautiful in it's own way. Nice video you should post it as a video response.
	@johnnymanhands This video was made in 1954. Of course it looks like something out of the 50's!
	@lpoleschtschuk - HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA ... was thinking the same
	From a singer in West L.A. ~ I see your Perth of WA from almost 60 years ago is FILLED with charming buildings and beautiful countryside ~ Bravo ~ hope to see it in person one fine day! ANDY
	Fantastic that all I can say Pity it has turned into a crime ridden shithole
	Everybody in WA needs to watch this.
	so may beautiful knocked down for skyscrapers
	@thatgrumguy Unfortunately you wouldn't be allowed to film at the train station or the airport, and quite possibly half of the industrial locations.
	@antijerrem Wish we didn't destroy so many old buildings...
	Music at 5:29 during UWA is Gaudeamus Igitur - a 1700s latin based drinking song about the joys of student life.
	pretty sure a few things haven't changed. i used to live in that house next door to 7:26. The house in this video is still there great vid. this was before the cashed up bogans came and destroyed trading prices and cost of living
	I wish we still had all these beautiful old facades in Perth city... it looks so ugly and bland now. There's not much left of our old heritage.
	I visited Perth in 2006. One of my favourite places in the world. I like that last shot of the city skyline. I took a picture fromwhat might be around the same spot. Makes a nice comparison of then and now.
	@thatgrumguy that would be an interesting project for sure - good luck!
	I would love to re-do this film shot-for-shot. Oh I wish I had the time. And money...
	wow..imagine coming back in time to this
	@sharonhammill Well, I heard Fran Kelly on the ABC pronounce Trangie ,Trangee, Narromine as Narromeen and Canowindra as it is spelt instead of Canowndra.
	Very nice indeed and thank you to the photographer who took the footage and showed how important it is to record events as they happened thus preserving it for future generations. If you are a photographer you might consider recording today's scenes for those who come after us.
	This is great! I only have a few black and white photos of the 50's but the vision in this video is embedded in my memory. So good to see it all again just like we lived it! Thanks for the memory!
	Brought back so many memories of a happy childhood !!!!
	This is like a time machine, it's one thing to see photos and videos from that era. But to see it coming from your home town, showing streets my grandparents much have travelled down is fascinating.
	I enjoyed this, though it would have been better if someone who could pronounce the place names had narrated it... "Mundahring" FFS!
	WOW! Thanks IC. What an entertaining time capsule. I lived next door to the house in Floreat featured, not realising I was almost famous.
	@PimpGravy why is that?
	loved it!! Cheers Inside Cover that is some great vision of Perth.
	what's that pig doing behind the trough????? Nothing in the presentation that would want you to visit, even then! AND the music, how depressing!
	i can't believe you just made me watch that inside cover! i suppose it was somewhat entertaining...
	Wish we hadn't destroyed so many great (human scale) buildings Still, when it comes to sterile foyers in unremarkable glass skyscrapers we're probably up there with the best!
	Wish we didn't cut so many trees down
	Why are the title and the description in English while the video itself is in Spanish?
