I was hoping for a little up mauka scenery like Manago's but really awesome video

Funny to watch the passengers disembarking from the plane by climbing out on one side, then up, and over the tail, then down onto the ground on the other side.

This is so great. Thank you for sharing

This was going on in San Jose especially years before this! I was born in 1964 after many tract houses were already built. But when my parents got married in 1956 they rented a house on Ross Ave from the ranchers down the street. But when they retired and sold off land in the area by 1959 my parents bought a house just down the street and lived there the rest of their days.

Good old days in Sydney 1940s

What a great video,I call Australia home🇦🇺

A wonderful video for the family to share for generations to come!

The whole video provided by your link in the description is invalid. Someone else else commented on this over a year ago. Someday ...

Thank you for this great archive

Handsome and Gay meant something else back then

This was my time in Hawaii, but I was too poor to enjoy the niceties of Hawaii. I left Hawaii in 1953 at age 21.

My Grandfathers youth Amazing video

we use to climb the trees in the orchards and sometimes farmer would chase us out in and around campbell

This is not remotely the city of Colon nor Panama. Seems to be Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.

Advance Australia fair only became the natonal anthem in 84

Great videos of a long lost Miami not destroyed by a hurricane but destroyed by greed, corruption and Trump style architecture. To quote a John Grogan it has become one ugly building after another full of glass and stuck up assholes.

Today, 20/7/2024, Sydney is an extremely dark city at night. Street lighting is so poor in the suburbs some times while driving, its hard to see people in dark clothes crossing midd street. Then hospitality with non professional waiters on working visas, coffee shops closing at 3 pm and kirchens at 9 pm, and pubs at 12 am, make Sydney a very BORING place....too late to move to Melbourne....🤣🧉

I think some of the boats in this video at Ala Wai Harbor are still there today.

Lei selling looks like it must have been a very competitive cottage industry.

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

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

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.
