Makes me think of happier times with my parents.

Worth watching just for the old cars.

This is the opening of the new Hornibrook highway. I shouted mum a helicopter ride that day that she still talks about

[@andersdottir1111]

I remember going to Kippa Ring Kmart when it looked like that, it was the only shopping centre open on a Saturday afternoon, I’d buy records there as a teenager.

There wasn't much of an obesity problem back then. People looked a lot thinner than they seem to be these days. Marvellous footage, this is an important social document. Thanks for sharing.

[@martinscrapp7166]

....and people, generally, were much much happier and positive...you can kinda feel it just from watching the video. Good times!

As a young child probably very early 70s, my family often went to Redcliff, with its lovely beaches. Fond memories. I would take my son there too in the late 80s.

[@IntrospectorGeneral]

The parade video looks like its from the opening of the Houghton Highway bridge in December 1979. The original 1930's Hornibrook Bridge that ran alongside it was supposed to be upgraded but was closed permanently when the new bridge opened.

[@sebbrazier5678]

Every thing looks dead nowadays, back then things had colour and class.

Whatever happened to marching carnivals. I remember covering huge carnivals all over the place in the 70's and early 80's. Thousands of gilrs competing but I have not heard of it since.

Redcliffe are now playing in the first grade. Carn the Dolphins!

Wish they'd show more of Woody Point side...where I use to stay at Grandma's and the woody point Jetty and the wrecks.

@The_Jaguar_ Knight We used to walk around from Scotts Point on our holidays in the late 50's and playing on and in the Gayundah every day

[@mhaskins61]

I was there with my girlfriend the day the bridge opened. We walked across and back..

I couldn't wait for dad to get to the old Hornibrook Highway for all the whoopedi doos.

[@shanesnow1561]

I remember driving over that bridge as a kid and thinking the car was going to bounce right off the bridge into the water😂

[@martinscrapp7166]

This is the kind of video that Millennials and Gen Z have absolutely no idea about, and need to see - the way Australia used to be, and not the absolute mess it is these days, and as such, they don't know how good Australia can be again.

[@PeteNasia]

I used to ride on d old bridge To get bmx parts 1978 back to Brighton

[@TheEarthHistorysConfusing]

We did all the time, ;)

[@TheEarthHistorysConfusing]

Do you have footage of the gateway bridge opening?. I remember being young child and threw a tantrum and poor mum had to carry two children under 5 up and back on it. I remember seeing us on the news. ;) good to see the old horniebrook. (Bad spell I know.) Thanks

pre-release model? I have a 1981 XE Falcon, which weren't officially released for sale until 1982.

[@craigmartin5939]

@@martinscrapp7166 actually, upon closer examination, it's 78-79 VB commodore, so you're off the hook. My mistake. Very similar tail lights.
