Bruce Highway is still crap

I did this route in the 80s when I was 7 or something

My daughter and I saw a UFO around 3:30pm on the corner of Upward & Abbott Streets in Cairns around 2019.

80 Trillion dollars wasted to date and still no roads

With hundreds of people shown in this clip, mostly in bathers/swimmers l noticed very few overweight people. Lack of junk food & actuality walking.

most of these people have probably since succumbed to melanoma.

coons were still there tho bruss

26:11 Dame Nellie Melba house 27:59 Ayr and Home Hill 29:48 Townsville 33:47 Tully 37:12 Port Douglas 37:55 Green Island

uh, very matter of fact i suppose

Joined the public service back in 72 been living on the GC at Burleigh ever since and have been a bloated leach living of the fat of the land and fattening my super for the better part of 45yrs, Having foresight into the property market also helps 😂😂😂😂. Still in there in the Public Servias an overweight, overpaid consultant on 310k a year working on go nowhere projects 😂😂😂😂 life is good 😂😂😂😂

It's not Australia anymore though is it. It's some kind of corporate, economic franchise zone.

Meanwhile in Sth Australia during that time there are 12 atomic detonations being tested. Guess that didn’t interest them 😂

back before politicians fk’d this country good and proper.

I don't understand. Where's all the indians, pakistanis, africans and asians?

Not a single person overweight!

Gotta love the soundtrack music.

Btw... It's not "meal uh, meal uh. It's Mill uh.

Brisbane is now the most boring city on earth.

Everywhere you look you see massive trucks carting coal…

2019. I was delivering groceries for the red supermarket and had to deliver to an apartment up on the hill. It was pretty sad to see how greed had wiped an icon from our skyline.

29:00 I was living the hippy lifestyle up in Far North Queensland in Cedar Bay when Cloudland was murdered. I was in Cooktown one day and saw the headlines in the newspaper. As I said in a previous comment, I cried. Some of you may remember the bjelke led raid of Cedar Bay in 1976. He was a tyrant. We wre raided in 82 as well, under the pretence of searching for some rogues who had warrants. It was an interesting day. Feds, as well as local police and soldiers. Yes. Soldiers. They came in on rubber duckies from a navy ship at dawn.

23:20 We used to catch the train from Strathpine to Bowen Hills and then walk up the hill. It was a hike, but worth it. Oh, I sometimes went up there just to look around in the daytime. The two times I went for an event were at night. I was particularly interested in the old gardens. In their prime, they would have been special.

I went to Cloudland twice in the late 70s. Once for Cold Chisel, and I can't remember the other event. Some award ceremony. When Bjelke and the Dean Brothers killed that icon, I cried. I was so angry. My mother (I'm near 61) would tell me stories of ballroom dances and Deb balls, and rock and roll dances. That building contained many memories, all desyroyed for greed

I served my Appenticeship in a railways workshop and although i was 20 years after this was filmed and steam had gone, everything is exactly the same.

The Queensland I love and remember ❤️

possibly 10million people in the country back then and you can tell , how good would that be !

no i dont think the gun would have but still very interesting nonetheless!!

What’s the bet these old timers could out build us road builders today . Took 15 years to build Gympie bypass.

Thank you.

And this was before everything that we had was sold of to the highest bidder

the lost innocent days of institutionalised racism

Men at work.

I gather the first few minutes is the foreshore along Clontarf!

You could use the "Wow and Flutter" on this audio as a means of torture! It would be more effective than waterboarding!

Apologies for the audio quality in this archival record. The distortion is due to the age of the film. At Queensland State Archives, we store records in specialised repositories and maintain them as best as we can. However, the condition of records can vary, impacting quality. Thank you for your understanding!

No train access since the highway was opened.

Fast Talking, High Trousers

Back when roads were just built. Now government spends twice as much on 'consultants' and 'studies' before anyone starts a dozer. Takes 3 times as long to build half as much road for your money 60 years later 😂

Performing Farts 😂😂😂

Fuk yeah

As it was beautiful in the 50s it is now even more beautiful. Love the far North, people are so helpful and genuine. Love you Australia 🇦🇺

I didn't know when the expressway was built until now. I do remember them building the flyover from the riverside expressway onto Hale street and soon after the go between bridge from Hale / corro drive across to South brisbane. It's crazy to think we used to drive along the riverside expressway at the end of a hard day at work then wait at traffic lights to turn right into Hale . This meant stopping traffic out of Coronation drive to let us all turn right. It used to back up so far. Surprisingly enough, these days the overpass backs up.

Why is their still silent recordings done in the 1970s?. They had had video cameras that recorded sound for the best part of 20yrs at that point.

Better time before they stared letting in all the scum

Back when crime was non existent.

How much wildlife was killed doing that wouldnt of had spotters looking out for animals then not that much thought is given to them now days either.😢

It was about a metre tall (although I do not carry measuring tape). This creature was within 1.5 metres of me. It was close. It had a bipedal, Velociraptor/ T-Rex like body (it was on two legs, it was not hopping like a kangaroo, it had two arms and appeared to be holding something in its hands) it had a human shaped and sized head. The entire face of this head, and the only noticeable features on this head were these two large black oval eyes covering the entire face. An analogy- imagine a human head, but the eye sockets extend from the forehead line to the line of the jaw bone covering the entire face with these two large black eyes. I did not see, and could not make out a mouth, a nose, ears, or hair. It had a tail. When its head first popped out its body was more upright, as it increased jogging speed it leant forward). It appeared to use the tail for balance. It did not break eye contact. This creature snuck up on me and stared me down. This entire scene had lasted only for around 5 seconds. This strange being of fauna/ creature/ I have no idea what it was (a crazy person fucking knows what it was (people are super smart). 3 years, 8 months ago. It did not have noticeable scales, feathers, or hair. It appeared to have black skin. The only colour of this creature was black. Although it was seen at night, and I do not have the ability to make out colours, it did appear to be the one black colour. Even the eyes were black. Vibes/my feelings Described by words and phrases. Intelligent (looked and acted like a nerdy human) smarter than me, it did sneak up on me. 2. Tourist vibes- this creature was keen, and interested. It behaved like a scientific academic of aJapanese tourist

This is a fantastic video of life in Redcliffe in the not too distant past. I love it, could watch more of these videos, it’s happy and sad to see the changes, some good, some not so good. Thank you.

And i thought Qld railways were founded at Ipswitch.
