A quick trip back to Doveton in 1992.

[@Gezza1967]

Here’s a quick 1992 video of a trip back to neighbouring Doveton where I lived 1974-77, I drive past the 2 schools I went to and our old house

Growing up in Springvale, this brings back some memories. I remember going to the Prince Mark for some travellers and nearly got into about 10 fights lol

Same mate I grew up in springvale St Johns Ave back in the day's was the best time ever.

Back when Doveton Heights primary school was still there at Laurel Avenue and westvale video was still there at Autumn Place also Simons discount and the Hawthorn Road police station.

[@danrobinson572]

Awesome video make more PLEASE!!!!

[@Gezza1967]

Thanks again Dan, will do cheers Gezza

[@magyaradam8957]

We definitely need as much doveton footage as possible especially from the 90s

[@danrobinson572]

@@magyaradam8957 yeah I agree

[@MrHarmca]

Gezza you always make us happy everytime.. thank you so much for the wonderful music and memories.. it's a great video of doveton and i look forward to more especially when you pick amazing songs to go with the clips.. love it cos you never know what to expect and by the way you have amazing taste in music..💜

[@Gezza1967]

Thanks very much Serah, it’s only because you are like minded with terrific musical taste, cheers Gezza🤗👍

First one is Photinia St into Cedar St into Bottlebrush Drive. I'm guessing the second school is either Doveton Tech or Doveton West Primary School. My guess would be the tech

[@Gezza1967]

Spot on Falchoon, Holy Family then Doveton west primary, 👍

[@magyaradam]

Yep $30k for a 3 BR house!

Was that an HR? They would have been rare then. We had an 8mm but the reels were lost. I'd hoped that they were hidden somewhere but after my mother died we went through everything with a fine-toothed comb to no avail. Thank you for this insight into your life.

[@Gezza1967]

Thanks TR, it looks like a HR👍 I hope you find your lost footage, cheers Gezza

[@twentyrothmans7308]

@@Gezza1967 Thank you, but they are both gone and that's it. You're in a Commodore? I used to visit my old homes when I was home. My last one looks like Hong Kong now with highrises everywhere. I won't ever do that again.

[@andyrob3259]

Wow you're a Doveton person. I grew up around Doveton Ave then moved to Hallam. The place is looking very scrappy these days - and that's saying something.

[@Gezza1967]

Yes Andy, I’m due for another look of the area, perhaps after lockdown. My brother & I left Doveton in early January 1978 to go to this place for 4 years…. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qICUnHuVopp5opI

Welcome dovetoners, 3177 the place to be. Running around paper bark street footy oval "doveton doves" BMX riding through ash street, best times.

[@magyaradam8957]

Do you have any more footage of Doveton, any footage at all?

[@swishswish386]

[@magyaradam8957]

Yeah that's right pretty much everyone moves except for the people that bought a house there when it was $40,000 back in 1993 there was one person on Hawthorn Road who had a pool built into their ground but they covered it with dirt which was weird

[@colonel2397]

I bet that it was a lot safer suburb back then!

[@magyaradam]

Nah man lol, it was ROUGH! Gangs at autumn place, house robberies repeatedly, heroin addicts, weed, graffiti everywhere. It was a pure houso area there, I know, because I grew up there and loved every minute of it.
