- Made by The National Film Board 1954. Directed by Bern Gandy, Joan Boundy, Hugh Alexander. Adelaide, capital of South Australia, a delightful city set against a background of hills, owes a lot to its original plan by Colonel Light and today displays the beauty of its wide streets and impressive public buildings. Also features landscape painter Hans Heysen.

Love the border collie lying down in the sun at 7:52!
I was one year old when this film was made and used to travel back and forth from Tailem Bend to Adelaide with mum and dad on his motorbike for hospital treatment for serious exma. Do that with a kid now and get thrown in jail. The last big bend in the Adelaide hills before reaching Adelaide was "Devils Elbow" at 8.16
I don’t believe it’s Devil’s Elbow, which was an incredibly sharper angle the the one you’ve cited. The cars travelling to Oakbank in this film would’ve been using Greenhill Road or Chain or Ponds I think (?)
@@marieinnes2382 Devils Elbow was the last massive bend - a very tight bend coming back on itself - before reaching Adelaide.
I used to drive up and fiwn it from.time to time and hated it. At least thats been taken out with the newer road having been built!
Long gone Australia. Rip.
Was sold out to the Communist Party in China a lot of the government officials are collaborating with the Chinese government
old adelaide brilliant thx
"...call that little lass over...' Try doing that now.
Yep, you'd have 1/2 the police force looking for you for an attempted abduction.
@xemnas0828 How cool you can spot your Nan in the film. Thanks for letting us know.
Look what we have now…sfa compared to then. I was a boy in that era. There were plenty of jobs and apprenticeships. As has been said Adelaide is another city caught up in the globalisation trend. If it can be built cheaper, go offshore. Very sad.😢. I lived just down from the winery and it was beautiful then. Great memories. And yes, progress is inevitable but not at the cost of the population.
The tramway on the east part of North Tce is being revived very soon!
Did he say Onkaparinga instead of Oakbank for the racing picnic
Now the government is patting itself on the back for installing a pathetic little extension to the single tram track ... but then there were trams all over the place.... and South Australian built ships etc. Have we advanced?
No way have we advanced!
Weve been going backwards at the rate of knots.
Major companies all sold off and/or gone offshore!
All commodities now sky high, pensioners now really struggling - their money hasnt risen for years
Far too many foreigners coming in plus the Federal Gov isnt handling Hospital, schooling, ambulance etc.
Time to start moving in the right direction for once.
@baldF SA is building the AWD at Osmond last I heard...
The Exhibition Building at 7:43 :( What bright spark said "Hey, you know what would be a great idea? Let's tear it down and put...absolutely nothing there! I sure think a big gap looks better than this hideous building."
you think that'd bad, go look at at the old LeCornu site in North Adelaide - nearly 40 years and still empty
yep, absolute shame, one of Adelaide's most beautiful building demolished for a empty space and a hideous concrete block.
right now the toll booth is on the chopping block 2021
I think the Toll House is safe, it's the Heritage listed Waite Gatehouse just down the road that has been scheduled for destruction by the short-sighted State Government.
No, we have not advanced in many areas.
Advance Adelaide & Advance Australia🌦. Dear Sir, Thank you for the documentary. The considerations are in the frontiers promoted for efforts in the Australian Country. The sectors of the Australian economy are reflected in Adelaide and there is concern in the wheat to be grown and then realised at exports. The domestic consumption of wheat is to be met with the distribution of wheat growers in the Australian terrain and the facilities for milling and then the transactions for wheat flour at retail to meet the consumerism in the specific locis of Southern Australia and Australia permitted by the extent in the harvests of wheat in the season.
The concerns are also in the wool and the current markets including the transactions for wool in the historical trade networks extending to the nation's of Europe despite the trade barriers enacted for the types of tradable goods in some trade networks linked to the nations to the European union and Europe in general.

This narrator isn't sure if he's Australian, American or English.
Sure it's australian
This is how the language was spoken back then, especially for radio or movie documentaries. Definitely Aussie.
Didn't sound American ?, the Adelaide accent is always a bit more English and particularly in those times.
Can't believe we didn't have tram tracks in the city. Then they added tram tracks. And then they removed the tram tracks. And then they added the tram tracks again... what type of government do we have in South Australia? lol
Would Adelaide be that type of place where trams are needed though?
@@planetX15 Yes to get rid of buses and have less cars.
"They make the best of what they have"
Slightly backhanded, ain't it?
Funny, rip up the tram line on North Terrace and guess what? Costing millions to put it back.
The decision to rip up the original tram tracks was one of the worst ever made.
beautiful mason house 1900- 1938 who destroyed heritage house history by foreign develop bastard should foreign develop back where come from european or american . we are own kept history heritage stay alive
Thats not the history we have to adress is it Adelaide.
It was great before the serpent's destructive venom of globalism and moral relativism was spewed into Adelaide's quiet and peaceful gardens.
The strangest accent the narrator delivers.
It's nots strange I'm old enough to remember before Americanisation took over that's how we spoke
@@wayneparker9164 Bullshit. The man's trying to sound posh while still sounding Australian. Horrible accent. I'm 71.
@@billwhite9703 Wayne is correct Bill. This is how our language was spoken especially for radio and movie documentaries. Listen to old radio broadcast from the ABC etc. Maybe the man-in-the-street did not talk this way, but it was common in many areas of employment.
@@wayneparker9164Particularly in Adelaide as we have always had a slightly more English accent mixed with Australian.
It would be perfect except for the damned narrator.
Oh, he wasn't too bad. Perspective is required when watching old documentaries and take into account how they were narrated in those days. You could mute the sound or use the subtitle option.
He was authentic for the time it was made.
