My first school holiday job was in the city in 1974. It was a much busier and vibrant place, at least in office hours, than it is now. When I go to the city these days I remember 1974 with fondness and am overcome with sadness for what it has become. Working in Sydney in later years I would always see people I knew but today I know no one and it is all completely foreign to me

Not sure it can all be 1974 - Why is Westpac Bank visible at 3:45. Bank of New South Wales (BNSW) and Commercial Bank of Australia (CBA) amalgamated to form Westpac Banking Corporation in 1982.

The Copenhagen of my childhood. The buses were so classy then - and you had letter boxes! The city has changed beyond recognition the last 30 years - and most for the worse. But I am glad we got rid of that filth in Istedgade though

I arrived in Sydney in 1970 and in 1974 was just starting a small business close to Wynyard station & often had lunch at the Menzies next door, or across the road at the Australia Tower. All those street scenes, the cars, buildings brought back memories. It seems like a life-time ago. Oh wait! It was...

This was 2 years before I was born. Life looked much simpler back then, like another has said. Nobody seems in a rush, life looks laidback. It’s a far cry from what we have today.

I was born in 1974, grew up in darling point and double bay, my earliest memories are this 3 years later, so pretty much the same. Great footage, it conjured in my mind the memories of the sounds too, despite there being no sound attached. My dad worked in the mlc building, we caught the first train after opening on the eastern suburbs railway to martin place to see dad, very futuristic! I remember the clock on the lobby wall at mpc, with the lit cylinders telling the hour, minutes ans seconds. Jm

Hey there David. I love this footage and would love to potentially use 10-15 seconds of it within a music video I am currently editing. It would be within a compilation of old archival footage within Australia and some of this would fit perfectly. Let me know what you reckon? Cheers

That woman with the incredibly long blond hair looked so beautiful. To think she is in her 70s or older now if she made it this far. We are all just dust in the wind. Nice time traveling video...though lots of tourist spots, which is understandable, in my first time in Copenhagen I also made a run through of the same places, but fascinating to see the city 50 years ago. I was first in Copenhagen in 2002 nearly 30 years after this video much is different much even today still the same. Thanks it was a nice trip.
