You should make that watermark waaaay bigger, turn it up, that's it, bit more, double that, same again, that's it, perfect...we don't need to see the vision, just your logo...spot on👍🏻
That takes me way back, some great film footage of what was for me a slower less hectic time growing up as a youngster around Sydney in the early 60's.
@@terrenceweetra6041 I am probably looking through slightly rose coloured glasses, but it was a great time to grow up. I always remember Sundays as back then it was a day of relaxation and rest, no large shops open which was not a problem, it just gave us more family time with Dad and Mum.
@@jso19801980 As I mentioned in a reply probably looking through slightly rose coloured glasses, but it was so different from today. That is my one regret not having many photos from that era as it was film and expensive to develop. I do have some of the Opera House being built, Australia Square Tower being built, it was only a few stories high and sailing under the Harbour Bridge on the RMS Orion in 1962 on our arrival to Australia as migrants.

1:03 When we had aircraft carriers. This is HMAS Melbourne, HMAS Sydney was being recommissioned as a fast transport and supply ship this very year, used extensively during the Vietnam War.
yes I was transported on HMAS Sydney to Vietnam in 1968 with the First Battalion 1 RAR Hello to anyone who was on the aircraft carrier at this time. we returned in march 1969 Rest in peace to those who did not return with us.
Tall buildings like today didn't start until the late 60s when the AMP building got built in front of circular quay! Some taller building in the 70s then in the 80s there were quite a lot of some tall buildings until the blue glass building built in front of circular quay either 1989 or 1990 so yeah!
I remember going to the AMP building in the late 50's with my mum and thay had a lookout on the top floor. Back then it was the tallest building in Sydney waaay befofore the sydney tower was even thouhgt of.
I think Australia's biggest mistake was not taking care of the common wealth of its own citizens first before allowing the four corners of the earth to come here and prosper as other countries do. It's always been the great myth and taboo that we don't have disadvantage and underprivedge in Australia and it has been the poorest Australians who have suffered the most from mass immigration. Evidenced by the never ending animosity towards it.
You are talking about Indeginous people of Australia right ? What if Indeginous people say this and stop european settler in Australia? Be thankfull to this beautiful country and the owner of this land " indeginous people "
My father filmed colour footage of the Waratah Festival in the early 1960s which I have and is less grainy than this film. I had thought of posting it to UA-cam for general viewing but it has controversial scenes of white Australian men painted black (blackface) marching along to represent Aborigines, which could offend viewers, though it would represent attitudes of the times.
Sydney was truly beautiful during the 60’s

sounds great, i think we all wish we can go back in time and take more photos and video of times with loved ones

If only we’d cherished our culture and home a little more…
Back when Sydney was the best it'll ever be.
wish i could take my family back to the days when life was beautiful in Australia in my youth .
What’s your age?
A time when you could play spot the wog and you'd be hard pressed to count more than on both hands

Great historical footage, it brought back many, many memories, many thanks
My pleasure
This was the year our parents got married, St Canice's Church Elizabeth Bay. Miss you, Mum xxx
Mine were married there the year before! 🙂
much prefer that sydney to the 2024 sydney
Yes, the days of acceptable, casual sexism and racism and living in your own bubble
Me too
Back when the world was a better place .
Great time to grow up in Sydney.....clean, no graffiti and no lefties !
Plenty of lefties, actually. 😊
Plenty of graffiti, political, sexual references, seen from trains in 50s, 60s.
I can see most of the old buildings in The Rocks area still there.Which year was the worst for this area in terms of heritage demolition?

Hello to anyone who was on the aircraft carrier at this time. we returned in march 1969
Rest in peace to those who did not return with us.
Looks like Fairey Gannets on the deck.
Bring back those innocent times. Especially the Waratah Parade.
Simpler times.
Brilliant

This is before 1962. The AMP building in Circular Quay opened in Nov 62. They havent demolished the previous buildings on that site.
3:40 is that the Darling Harbour bridge of the day?
What's with the Luna Park theme? Was that part of the ANZAC Day Parade?
That footage was most likely from The Waratah Festival which was very similar to Moomba in Melbourne.

This will be the downfall of most of Europe and the USA.

@@pradipdhakal2665 no one cares what you think, this clip is from a better time - when you weren't around.

That can't be 1962. The last tram in Sydney ran in 1961.
Before 1961 - no 28 floor AMP building on Circular Quay.
Crap watermark. Unwatchable
You'll have to buy the video from them.
crickey that music is depressing

You could edit it out?
@@kathygodfrey3158 yes I could
What's with the guys wearing nappys in that parade.
Ja mam zdjęcia z końca lat 1977- 81
Compared to the European cities of that era it is quite ugly, dirty and badly planned.
This is Oz not Effing Europe
Still better than Europe of today
Europe is a mess now, with well planned city
You weren't there. It was a beautiful city at that time.
Sydney Harbour is one of the most beautiful in the world.
