I wasn't born yet

Our last year at Strawberry, we decided to not bring our motorhome because the gas prices were so high. We went with our tent and tarps, and Coleman stove, barely found a site on the high side of main road. What a mess that was, we ate at the food court. God bless those great folks cooking hot food for all. That was one wet and cold festival !

Outstanding footage! It's clear that whoever started building Coral Gables, Miami, and Miami Beach intended the area to be a place of beauty that reflected the beauty then of La Habana, not the ugly suburban hellscape of Miami-Dade and South Florida today!

Blacks and Whites swimming together at the beginning --- the locals must not have cared fully for Jim Crow back then.

Yep , that's exactly how it was, a paradise for children

You wreaked it.. You bastards

If the people who built that beautiful country saw it now.... They would burn it. I apologise on behalf of everyone in Australia right now. Yep ..we finally destroyed the place. Let's all give each other a pat on the back. Everything good about Australia is now bought out sold out and long gone. Again. Let's all give each other a pat on the back. And a big thanks to mass immigration..for we couldn't of done it alone

Exquisite, thank you!!!

My mother was 20 in 1940, she lived with my grandparents in Clovelly, and on weekdays caught a tram to work in the City at the old AMP building in Pitt St. All these scenes are ones she knew well. I can just imagine her walking through them (in her hat and gloves) along with her family sister and friends. Thanks so much Kailua Kid for uploading them, you've brought a page of my family history back to life.

Thank you, Claude Kapūkuʻi is my great grandfather.

Fantastic film, nice to see Tasmania in the 1940s in colour! Ross Bridge was completed in 1836 and is 106 years old at the time this film was made so this film dates 1942! I personally grew up in Tassie myself as a kid in the 1980s and seeing a bit of Deloraine in this film 8:05 made me smile as I used to live about 20 min away from Deloraine and Deloraine Hotel was one of my dad's watering holes, on my recent visit to Tassie in 2022 I had dinner at Deloraine Hotel which is still thriving today! The majority old buildings on the main street (Emu Bay Rd) of Deloraine are still there but with new shops and cafes and there's also Subway fast food chain. Tassie is good for keeping most of its old buildings! Anyhow there is very little colour footage of Australia back in the 1940s (even with colour photos) so this footage along with the other Australian films made by this filmmaker is a real treasure!!! Thanks for sharing!

Live rabbit racing. 😢

My mom mentioned cutting up apricots after school at an orchard near Los Altos in the first half of the 1950's.

Why did people dress more elegant than these days..

Yup. When growing up in the 60's those orchards are where we would play hide n seek. Then run down to the creek and catch pollywogs!😊❤🎉

Great story

Born and raised in Aiea 1967 I am so thankful to my parents for letting me grow up near the sugar mill in Aiea . I can still remember summers packed in a van going to Haleiwa and seeing sugarcane then pineapple then on the slope down from Wahiawa the sugarcane . Drying off as the sun was setting using wash clothes and the melted ice water to wash off before getting a plate with fresh cooked BBQ and homemade rice balls .Father would turn the radio on to the AM Hawaiian station on the way back . No street lights by Kunia so it was dark. Best memories being the only kid awake hearing static Hawaiian music with the greenish lights from the dash lighting my dads face. My mom telling my dad To make sure the kids change as soon as we went into the house even though we all just wanted to sleep

Shes doing the tiktoc dance we all now do in 2024. 😅 Soooo beautiful ❤️

THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!

السلام عليكم هل يوجد أحد على قيد الحياة! اتمنى ان تكونوا بخير وصحة 🖐🇸🇦

A couple of friends of mine raced their sports cars there back then, 1960 or 61 I guess. I went to the track with them many times. One of them, Bob Keys, had a Lotus 7a. I remember him spending hours sitting on his porch grinding out the ports with a dremel tool, putting in larger valves, boring out the cylinders to the water jacket and pressing in sleeves, on and on. Raced it a couple of times where he could finally keep up with the modified Corvette on the straights. Used the money from selling it to get a Lotus formula jr. I think I saw that Lotus formula jr. in the film.

When agriculture left the magic was gone

Is this your video I wanna share it so should I give you credit.

Is the begging of the video waianae

Song is Florida Time by Dave's True Story

It's really sad what has become of this once beautiful and fertile valley. I grew up in the coyote area off Bailey Ave. I'm an 80s kid and remember all the fruit orchards and vegetable orchards. I remember seeing everything slowly being stripped away. By the mid-1990s, it was gone. I miss the scent of summer nights when the sprinklers misted the fields and the moon and stars lit the night.

Times were happier and more pleasant back in those days.No daily murders then.

All gone forever never to return. Destroyed by endless IMMIGRATION. Won the war, lost the peace. Just like the British Empire.

I live on the property where the Kauai Inn stood, when this film was shot. It’s just up the road from Nawiliwili harbor.

Thanks for posting this. I was at the 1982 game but this film is from 1978.

Thank you so much for posting this! Brought a tear to my eye. I barely remember Kauai being so green and undeveloped.

Great film. That is Lihue sugar mill

This is when Sydney was still a part of Australia.... Before all the Muslims were let in to ruin a once great city! ✅

Florida cranberries?? It looks more like date trees to me? Much respect though cool video !

It was a great city until Andrews ruined it. Those in power under labor ruled by the despot Andrews (now thankfully departed), should never be forgiven for what they did during the lockdown and mandate hysteria and not to mention, their woke social agenda. Yet the people voted them back in again. Unbelievable!

GREAT.

Wonderful 1940 views of Sydney City

Vatican Ii destruction of church! The Blessed Mother’s Rosary will overcome! Pray the rosary, traditional mass and communion and confession🙏🙏🙏

This is the first lilikoi butter recipe I've seen that includes canning in a water bath. Most just jar it and refrigerate or freeze.

love this. love old footage like this. people live back in 1940 and i live there in 2020. amazing

Good footage. It’s a pity the music is so syrupy and cringeworthy.

Interesting to see the Great Torii Gate not in bright orange/red as it is presently.

Pas de panique tu es concernées ❤

Sovereign Spirit of our soul so very superior to soil and soiling of flesh the slave to sin Sweet sanctifying superior sisters you chose the Best part Bring back Slave to sin prostitute USA by your purifying perfuming prayers

Beautiful footage, but the Normandin family's 1926 dating is off, all the women (not in swimwear) are dressed for 1930, or 1931. This isn't a maybe; their low hemmed, normal waisted fashions are all post-1929, if only just.

is this the Flagler train to key west?

Great video.

I feel like melbourne when i was kid in the early 90's closer resembled melbourne in the video than it does now. Unfortunate, i used to like going to the city.

Great video footage !! Loved the music choice, as well!
