- Made by The Commonwealth Film Unit in 1972. Directed by Stuart Glover. A survey of housing in Australia. This film has been made in order to show prospective migrants what housing in Australia is like in 1972. It provides examples of housing on various economic levels in a wide range of localities, illustrating the kinds of housing, styles, building materials, costs, locations etc. of houses in Australia
Love these films
Thanks again Neil. We appreciate the feedback.
Wonderful story and history
It is amazing to think of the migrant family in this film, the two children are now probably grandparents.
I wish they left just one of theses slumish suburbs exactly how it was n 50 years back made it ( just the 0ne ) heritage listed, i just thought it would be great as we could go n step back into time 'say around the 1920's in Darlinghurst or somewhere like that, maybe the cross even as that would have been cool but ya would have been bloody interesting. . 4:04.
3:25 - That sofa and wall feature :-)
lol
Looking at this video I can see that I still live in a 1972 house but I don't mind, I'm way out of town in a farming community and have 2 acres to myself so maybe I am living in the 70s lol
Some people in Italy lives in buildings built 2000 years ago, in Roman Empire time
@@_____J______ yeah and many people over the years fleed from that country because it's a Shit hole
Nice time to be in I was thinking this yesterday
Wow, there was more development in Melbourne in the 70's than there is here now in Adelaide! I don't think we have any residential buildings as tall as the ones in this... We really are behind...
you made this comment entire 11 years ago, are you still alive ?
Narration by ABC Sydney newsreader James Dibble.
I want to live there
What suburbs are these new subdivisions in .....
This film was released in 1972 with footage from 71 and 72
now most people want huge houses as their first home with all the best furniture and trimmings and go into huge debt to get it ,instead of building up to it
7:00 The fibro kit home would arrive on a truck and you arranged a builder to erect. They would shudder in the wind due to the lack of bracing on the supports. Hot in summer and cold in winter. One we had was made by Hunter Douglas.
Before tradies wore fluoro!
before everything become soft.
@@sanctuaryism I don't know about that, we had soft hippies that then but finally getting rid of them.
We have to work so much harder just to be able to own a house these days and it's tough enough having to deal with the woke left community including our governments lol
@@coldthrills5150 I will take soft hippies over ballless soy boy beta males still lol...
yep you summed it up at the end there well.
This video seems to indicate property was quite expensive, even back in 1972.
not according so at 4:47...
A West Australian double-brick house with 3 bedrooms, kitchen, 1 bathroom, a family room and lounge room on a large block (3/4 acre) in an outer suburb could be built for less than $30,000 in 1973. A similar home on a smaller block (1/4 acre) could be purchased second hand in 1997 for $105,000. Such opportunities for the current generation of twenty-somethings are simply not possible. There are no wide-scale Government housing developments such as West Australia's State Housing Commission any more. Why???
@@BrassLock Indeed, this is true. So many property spruikers seem to think anyone can duplicate this, as if this sort history will repeat.
Of course that would need median prices to go to 20 to 25 times income.
Who else recognised Keith Mansfield's Funky Fanfare?
Ahhh! We have an library record aficionado!
Yep. NFSA loves it and so do I
Love KPM music library records!
At 4.46 would that be Eastlakes in Sydney where all those flats are?
That's a good bet. Narration does mention industrial areas at that point.
It does look a lot like Eastlakes.
The ideal life. Everything anyone could want. The rest was up to you!
Sadly the idiots nowadays will never begin to understand this. The ego has taken control.
something for everyone.
now days one cant afford to buy a house unless you come from asia
Alexander with his asian army
hence why kids still live at home at 25 and beyond. this stuff is prehistoric. days never to be seen again.
besides the family unit is being destroyed.
@@sanctuaryism true
@@coldindustries Oliver’s Army is on their way
The boy (2:00) looks like old men
Well his dad doesn't look particularity young either lol.
@@williamcrossan9333 yet the guy is probably only 32 in the video lol... the old man I mean (father) hahaha. yeah everything was more rugged.
Not a sign of a person who is non-white..
The good old days.
@@michaelminnikin4265 of Bogan lifestyle 🤣
@@gokulm92 Ha. Very good Gokul.
Just seen a video where an indigenous senator was forced to recite an oath to swear allegiance to the queen… Bogan Aussie never change even in 2022…
that's a deliberate ploy to attract non whites and it worked
