The "New" Perth Entertainment Centre would have been at least 15 years old already, at the time this video was made. The presenter clearly wasn't a local... Further confirmed by his footy affinity, and the way he pronounced "mall" 😄
I remember him too,, Saw him when i used to go get my Records at Central Station,, I Lived in Perth from 1994-1999 There's a VR commodore in this video, that's July1993 onwards :: Great Video though..
This is 1992 earliest. The central park tower is fully built here, and construction on that building wasn't completed until May of that year. So my best guess is that this footage is from 1993/1994
I don't remember exactly, but I'm fairly certain Forrest Chase and the modern Myer complex wasn't built until the 1990s. In any case, the narrator mispronouncing all the place names mentioned the West Coast Eagles premiership; the Eagles first of those wasn't until 1992, and they did it again in 1994. We beat Geelong both times to take it, so it's not clear which year he's referencing. However I remember both the elderly gentleman with the puppets, and the clown on stilts as a young adult, at a time when I was already driving myself to the city. That was late 1994. But that's a guess at best, it was a long time ago. 1992 certainly the earliest...
Yeah has to be early 90's. That guy on stilts was there when I was working for Telstra (Telecom at the time) and walking around the malls in early 90's. Also the skyline is too busy for early 80's
i remember the stilt guy, he would sneak out of the alley and follow people and act silly. The dancing puppet guy and the singing guy i remember as well
A perfect example of why a non native should never be used to provide commentary on a place they are unfamiliar with. Clearly demonstrated by his mispronunciation of many of the local words and names.
Like people say, this is the mid 1990s NOT anything to do with the 1980s sadly :( The endeavour replica was launched 1993-1994 so that dates things well. The film maker obviously wasn't from Perth since he mispronounces names and describes the entertainment centre as "new" when by that time it was very old and tired.
Late '80s maybe, but certainly not early 80s. Also, the Perth Entertainment Centre (now demolished) was built in 1972 - hardly new at the time. But thanks for the video, nice reminders.
Thank you for this nostalgia trip,,,I’m the singer at the 4 minute mark.
Great voice mate!
This looks more like 1990s
Yeah 90s..tell by the trains and Forrest chase which wasn't developed like that till the 90s
Yep
Trains are a giveaway.
I agree

This reminds me of being a kid, and mum taking me into the city. I miss how the city use to be.
I remember that guy on the stilts.. definitely 90s

1990s. If I remember right those trains were part of the updated train network 1991/92. Skyline definitely early 90s not 80s.
Thank you for a look back to the past
Better than now
1990's for sure.

So that's what my home city looked like in the 1990s

So many good memories

I dont think those trains were around in the 80's, 90's maybe?

Trains were electrified in the 1990s.
