when the IQ of the joint was near zero, wall to wall reefers, massive beer gardens, fuel rosters, going bush for sunday pints seeing tripple before the first pints at Yanchep Inn man they were the dayzs, so so ezy living and cheap

Wow I thought those bus stops were from the 90s as I'm an '86 model and remember them vividly from having one a few houses down on my road. My cousin ollied off one of those on his skateboard and snapped his deck, almost his ankle. Ahh the memories.

And then there were none ..thanks Bunnings

Back when Commonwealth meant something, now it's common greed ..yet the concrete bus stops are the same.

Perth is no longer the Perth I grew up in. It's become the have $ and have nots. It's lost its charm, freshness and so much more

I don't know where the sound file came from, but one thing absent in 1972 was loud Harley davidsons. They started about 1979? Bloody tractor engines!!!

The early 70's was a great time in Australia, prosperity and peace. Jobs were plentiful and people were respectful. Then we opened the floodgates for Asians, Arabs, Africans and Indians. Enough said!

G'day to you, I just turned 22 back then, great to see it all ,lot of Memories of the Hay Street Mall! from Armadale !

Lived and worked in Perth the greatest place on earth in 73 ,200 $ wage a week , 20 $ for a flat in wembley ,saturday night at beethovens for 10$ , win win , great town . Havent seen it in 42 yrs.

5:20sec. ......you cant sit there?

Bring back the 70's and the sheilar's with the mini skirts, probably grand and great grandmothers now

A family friend worked there through his welding school and business Jim Davey

Developers have ruined perth now ,it's just an unworkable mess ..I don't live there ,so I don t have my blinkers on ,like the locals..I have watched that place disintegrate into a friggin rats nest over the last 35 years,disgusting new burbs for the sheeples ,couldn't swing a cat in the yard ,there is no yard ,..daily mind numbing traffic jams ,just concrete and bitumen splattered everywhere..its a shi****le now..strictly for the sheeples

I was in the SAS Regiment & had just returned from Vietnam, 19 years old. Perth was then & still is a beautiful city, we are so lucky to live in such a great place.

Those were the days when this country was once self sufficient in petroleum products with Barrow Island and the oil rigs in Bass Strait and we had our own merchant ships to carry it, I can remember such ships, Australian flagged and crewed: CELLANA, BP ENDEAVOUR, MOBIL AUSTRALIS, ESSO GIPPSLAND, AMANDA MILLER, R.W. MILLER, NANCY HEATH, P.J. ADAMS, JOHN HUNTER, EXPRESS, H.C. SLEIGH and SOLEN to name a few, all gone now, foreign ships doing the work and we pay for all this at the bowser!

We came back to W.A. to live in 1972. I was 12 years old, good grief it seems like yesterday and yet it seems so long ago. We had a house built at 57 Somers St. Belmont for $14,000!

How I long for these days. No sign of the barren tasteless wasteland of the souless nanny state it has become. Only one policeman in sight. No mounted cameras watching the people and number-plates of the cars. No signs with rules upon rules we are now forced to adhere to. A bygone relaxed care-free era where freedom was enjoyed and no police breathing down your neck.

No fat people lol

AI sounds are too exaggerated... but good footage.

Worked there on a workover rig and great fishing on down time

No way! In 1972 we moved to Perth from the farm in Dalwallinu for school. We had the first house built in Greenwood. Back then it was known as Greenwood Village and the bus into town was 359. Prams on the back of the bus, kids used to stand for adults, the sound of the old ticket machines, bus drivers carried cash. We all knew each other back then. Have we evolved?

Where are all of the Asians and Africans? How did those poor white people survive back then without the cultural enrichment?

No obesity!!!!!!

In many ways, a simpler, smaller, less developed way of life appears to make us happier. The future seemed to offer hope, and regular human interaction also contributes to this.

Would have no complaints going back to those days.

When Australia had Australians and wasn’t swamped. So much calmer with our own kin.

I agree that the Perth in this video is gorgeous, just keep in mind that the people reminiscing over and missing the 'good old days' (and how it's better than the present day) are the same people who were around for or even driving those changes that have lead to the modern Perth. You can still find beauty and community in Perth today, and I hope there will be more efforts for preservation and restoration in the future.

ONE "LIKE" FOR THE NEWSPAPER BOY...IN THE BACKGROUND......I AM 63 NOW.

Great video. Love the OHS in those days.

Do Bunbury History and footage up to the latest date. Include the Milk Carton Tower… 😂 Ps Tornado Dates: May 10 2024 June 1st 2024 (Lightning Storm ⛈️)

Yep I landed here in Fremantle as a 6 yr old girl from Europe via a ship

Great film, real time capsule. Thanks for posting🙂

My mom was born on this year in a village in africa and now we live in perth

Pierce paradise lost

It was Paradise just the best time of my life best everything was just really great I love Perth back of those days with everyone speak to each other it was just a beautiful town don't miss it please Doctor Who I take me on in your TARDIS and take me back to those days the rest of my life I never come back to this shity time want everybody about the crap of the crap Perth that there is now

The bus stops still look like that but blue

Take me back now please

7:11 lady carrying her shopping like that is stressing me out 😂

I remember those bus stops and the old ticket machines….

Notice at 6:57 the bus conductor gets off the bus to take the baby stroller off the back of the bus. Much faster than getting today's massive prams onto a bus and settled into position then reversing out again.

Never forget what they've taken from us.

90s kids : "omg ! the sky was bluer back then!" 70s:

3:12 💀 u still get bus stops like that wtf

i dont wanna go back 🔥 thank god

I was born in 1967 Perth and found the video a bit boring Id like to see names like Charlie Carters, Boans or kids riding cool push bikes , prawning in the Swan River , and the Drive in Movies Kings Park or the beaches Showing the old ferry or old holden and ford cars

Its a pity so many of the shots in this are in close up. Makes it very hard to locate most of those shots.

4:40 oh wow we had our own version of the Shibuya Crossing

Who remembers Ivan wandering the streets with his hessian bag collecting bottles out of bins?

Where's Bondy???

Aha, so those guys in uniform who shooed people away from sitting on forbidden ledges or stopped people enjoying themselves were around back then too. I remember in 2004 they were around everywhere, if you swung on a bicycle rack as a kid, one of those guys would appear all of a sudden and challenge you. Don't get that these days thankfully, the world is more free. I wonder where those guys went though?
