    This is a fantastic video of life in Redcliffe in the not too distant past. I love it, could watch more of these videos, it’s happy and sad to see the changes, some good, some not so good. Thank you.

    I remember going to Kippa Ring Kmart when it looked like that, it was the only shopping centre open on a Saturday afternoon, I’d buy records there as a teenager.

    As a young child probably very early 70s, my family often went to Redcliff, with its lovely beaches. Fond memories. I would take my son there too in the late 80s.

    There wasn't much of an obesity problem back then. People looked a lot thinner than they seem to be these days. Marvellous footage, this is an important social document. Thanks for sharing.

    This is the kind of video that Millennials and Gen Z have absolutely no idea about, and need to see - the way Australia used to be, and not the absolute mess it is these days, and as such, they don't know how good Australia can be again.

    The parade video looks like its from the opening of the Houghton Highway bridge in December 1979. The original 1930's Hornibrook Bridge that ran alongside it was supposed to be upgraded but was closed permanently when the new bridge opened.
