@@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.

Thank you! This is so wonderful! I can recognise some of the buildings and love seeing marvellous Melbourne as it was in Phryne Fisher’s day! (So glad Melbourne never got rid of the trams. Still a great way to get around in the city.)❤ We love going to the Blue Mountains in NSW, but we do not look anywhere near as stylish as the visitors in this film, alas!

Fabulous to see how the trees have grown in Cronulla and The Hotel Cecil ('Cesspit') where I spent probably too many hours in the 70's before it was pulled down. There's some excellent historic footage of the old ladies change rooms and surf club too. Thanks for posting this.

You can't smell the results of having horses on the streets. Neither can you smell or see the bitter smoke from early dirty cars and trains. Most people owned very few items of clothing - what they're wearing is often their only jacket and shoes and one of few pants and shirts.

The cameraman is filming the picturesque areas. Re: Melbourne, had they ccontinued on into Fitzroy, you would have seen a largely polluted, industrial area and many poor people living in squalor.

As a boy in the early 1950's stayed at Cronulla and the Hotel Cecil. Scenery pretty much the same as shown. Had both accomodation and public bar in the days of 6 o'clock closing - very busy at weekends. Went back a few years ago - only the front farcade of the hotel remains with high rise units and development

I was born in '54 and grew up in Jannali in the Sutherland shire. I LOVED the sound of the steam train at around 9:30 pm chugging uphill through the cutting coming off the Georges River bridge, past Como and on down its way to Port Kembla. What a wonderful sound to serenade a boy to sleep.

Absolutely love this era of history, seeing this footage was like a glimpse into the golden age of our culture, heritage and fashion. So interesting to see post Great War era Australia, and amazing how vast and open everything was! Thank you for this excellent and significant glimpse into my country’s past, very important to preserve footage like this from Australia, and all over the world as well! And yes, times have changed, but is our society really any better? At least back then people lived with what they had, and worked hard to survive and prosper. My ancestors both Aboriginal and English, fought for this country in both world wars to preserve the land and culture they loved. All I can say is for everyone to do their own research on historical topics, because history is much more fascinating than anything. And while we may have come a long way, it’s important to remember what even got us here in the first place, and not criticise the old world. If I had a Time Machine I’d go back to these times and stay, that’s my choice. I’ve always been an old soul and I truly feel like I’m seeing my home when I see these films, like a glimpse into a better time, to me at least. I hope there are others out there who see it the same way I do. Advance Australia! 🇦🇺
