- From The Film Australia Collection. Made by the Commonwealth Film Unit 1971. Directed by Brian Hannant. Re-published here in HD. Travelling around Sydney using a variety of public and private transport. The daily commute for Sydneysiders in 1971.
Yes, yes, yes! The great transport shuffle of the 70's. Nothing much has changed since then, we just dance to a different tune now. The South Steyne ferry sailed from Scotland under her own steam. The Orcades at the Overseas Passenger terminal. The Opera house still not finished. The AMP building with its observation deck and cafe. The wooden ferries and Hydrofoyle. The Red Ratler and Leyland buses. I just got ready for school, wait!! I am 68. I got carried away. Thanks for the memories.
Hope you might like to see more of the Orcades circa 1950 from the viewpoint of the steam tugs in Melbourne from the ACMI collection :

I find the whole film of interest too from a talented amateur filmmaker on 16mm .
The Barragoola at 8:09. Recently sank in Sydney Harbour.
The smog at the end of the film shows how much the city has cleaned up since 1971
I remember as a child seeing that red amphibicar driving in the water near the botanic gardens at the opening of the Sydney Opera House in 1973. I was amazed.
Hydrofoils and Red Rattlers. Being a Sydney kid in the 70's was so much fun! I love these "old" movies:) A big THANK YOU for uploading.
You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks mate 👍
Miss those old red rattlers 🚝
Plus toll booths on the Coat Hanger and coppers controlling intersections. Great memories.
The hydrofoils better and quicker than the crap they have today!!!
It must be said this is quality editing and camera work. You do not see this on TV these days nowhere to feature it.
Thanks Steve. The film makers might have been working for the government film unit and their work not widely seen but the were very professional and creative and took their craft seriously.
Well, I didn’t see myself in the crowds, but I was there from April to August 1971, and this film exactly captures my experience in the hustle bustle of downtown Sydney. Walked the Harbor Bridge one Saturday, went to the top of Australia Square, went aboard HMS Eagle when she visited that summer, rode the ferry and the double decker buses and the trains, walked my legs off every chance I got, before departing to the western Outback. Loved Sydney, still do!
Incredible film which has not aged at all. I can imagine in 50-100+ years it will still be the same
Love the memories . These were the days of ladies and gentlemen.
Dreamy.
The music is a massive highlight.
grew up in Australia in the 70's, caught the trains to school and a ferry to the zoo, going over the bridge in my dads EH Holden.thank you for the memories where did forty odd years go.
Yes time flies.... At least we have the memories captured here.
+Gemma O’Brien I'm the same. Being able to recognise places as they were when I remember them is a rare treat.
it is a treat, thanks to the film makers and the team at NFSA.
Tell me about it Brian! I grew up in Dee Why in the 50's- 60's. Amazing to again see the hydrofoil (the "Dee Why") overtake the South Steyne en route to the Quay. And the first car I drove was my Dad's EH!
@@David_P132 I remember it well too. Boats that performed well.
4:18 - My Dad's office in 1971 at 2 Thomas St, Chatswood! Crooks Michell Peacock & Stewart, engineers, architects and town planners.
I wish AUSTRALIA was like that today.
@xii_7 you are a fucking twit
Wow...a trip down memory lane even if it was before my time..quite fascinating to see how far yet how close our ways of life compare n contrast over 45years..god love Australia square..she was the pride of the high rise in the 70s n still gives the moderrn buildings a run for their money in 2018😂
nice to see these in 1080p now
Thanks David. It makes a difference. We will republish existing CZcams titles and add new titles in HD whenever we can.
Oh I cant wait! Watching these in 1080p you can really appreciate why film is such a beautiful format.
Commenting is closed on some of the NFSA videos, so I just wanted to say on this one how fantastic they are. Wonderful glimpses into lost times in a country I *will* visit one day...
Thank you merope.
Seventies kid here those were the days
What a fantastic film, the editing and music is amazing! The quality is stunning, really makes me wish I was around then to experience Australia in that time period.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the film.
Not a mobile phone in sight, how refreshing is that
Wow. Even seen a quick shot of the old First and Last Hotel.
I can remember the amphibious car in the 60s crossing the channel at Ettalong.
Great upload, thanks! Love all the cars!
Nostalgic to see Australia before the 80s
That dark grey hanging cloud of pollution at the end.
My family's been there last September. Only now, the train's & busses have changed over the years, and now we can go around via the Opal card.
7:40 - I've got a signal like that and it has been reconditioned & repainted!
Funny to think of everything going quiet at 9am when everyone's in work - no let-up in the ferries and buses these days.
No Opal Card yet.... 😀😀😀😇✌✌✌✌✌ Nice film sir.....
The memories.......
:)
Look at all that low rise lol
Not now.
I know it's been asked before, but are you going to upload the film "The Ghan to Alice"? I loved that film (good to see this in 1080p as well, beautiful!)
Yes - sorry for any delay. It's a great film and on track to get it transferred to HD ;)
How's the smog in the closing shot?
What are the songs
6:49 - Hipsters never change.
very nice city....and real dream : no refugees!!!!!!!!!!!!
No fucked up politicians
All you can see are . . . Australians.
