I got a shock to see myself twice in this I am the colourful clown near the end first waving and later dancing with the police woman. It was definatly mid eighties as I was a member of The Moomba Clown Club. I can't believe I was in this clip
I miss these days. The 80s was my teen years, going out clubbing, dancing, the people were more approachable, no mobile phones, just landlines, and answering machines lol. Although it was an era that is unforgettable, I'm sure like the previous generation.
@AccordionManiac I recently bought this VHS video in an op shop. It had a proper cover so I think at some time they did sell them as tourism souvenires.
During the Aussie bicentennial, a local TV star was making it big with her hits "Locomotion" & "I Should Be So Lucky". Her sis was fresh out of "Young Talent Time". That's Kylie & Dannii Minogue, respectively.
Alexander Pde, blocked up back in the 80s. Good to see that they accounted for the increase in traffic over the coming decades. I mean, I can traverse the ENTIRE western ring road in ONLY two hours!!!
Batman never bought land from the Aboriginal people. He conned them. Read the deed he wrote. It was written in gothic style handwriting in Shakespearian gibberish and the elders made their marks on the parchment by dipping their fingers in ink.
This was the Melbourne I knew and loved…good and memorable times back then! How I wish we could turn back time….:(

When Melbourne was a beautiful city. Alas poor Melbourne, I knew it well Horatio

This was an ad to sell to USA and China - Now we are South China not Australia.

Police look more friendly during this time. Hell, everything looks more friendly.

1989 or 1990. You can see the Melbourne 1996 Olympics bid logo at some points.
Back when Aussies could afford to live Melbourne.
