A taste of Adelaide (1973)

A young couple take in the delights of Adelaide in South Australia in 1973. Includes footage of the Festival Theatre, East End Markets, the Globe Derby trots and Lidums Art Gallery. The focus is particularly on food and wine and the film shows such establishments as the Old Lion Hotel, Lord Kitchener's Indian Kitchen, Ayers House, The Colonial, Hardy's Tintara Winery and the Inn and Old Mill at Hahndorf.
Produced by the South Australian Film Corporation, Adelaide, 1973. The Don Burrows Quartet features at the start of the film but most of the music is from the KPM library, composed by Jean Bouchéty.

I miss when Australian people embraced their culture 😔 now we have to only embrace other countries cultures only. If we try to be proud of our background and all the hard work we achieved we are labelled arrogant and even racist 😔 we did a fine job and I’m not ashamed to say so. I think South Australia has some gorgeous views and architecture that isn’t found anywhere else. Younger children should be viewing this and this should be shown in the Adelaide airport, along with all the other footage obtained by Adelaideans so that we can showcase what we have come from. I’m amazed when the Duke William and Duchess Catherine visited they only went to Elizabeth when there are many different places to showcase South Australia

My recollection of people in Adelaide back in 1973 was that they were snobbish, terribly pompous and self-righteous. They're all still alive and living in Canberra in 2023.

They were still getting around with horses and carts as late as 1973. My god.1

Remember it well. Me strutting out in my chartreuse coloured amco V knees@ brown cuban heel boots. 10 foot tall @ bullet-proof, skinny @ not a care in the world. Don Dunstan was the king of the "camp" a great time to experience. The red legs club, the old lion@ arkaba top room. Happy days.

I lived in Adelaide, worked at the Festival Theatre in the seventies and lived close to Hahndorf. The lady ended up being Ernie Sigleys wife.

Damm bring back Adelaide, 1973 !

[@tommywm24]

The Festival Theatre is basically the exact same in 2020, apart from all the Soviet monuments it used to have outside.

The days before self-service was instead Service Attendants. You didn't have have to get out of your car to fill up, and of course you also got your oil levels, and tires pressures checked, and then your windscreen cleaned and your waved goodbye free of charge.

I really miss how Adelaide used to be back then.

Geeze i miss those days,, people talking, walking communicating, laughing together 💞

My wife and I arrived in Adelaide in 1973 from New Zealand. Compared to NZ, Adelaide was a cosmopolitan revolution with much better food and wine offerings. The Hahndorf Inn was a revolution, and still is. Unfortunately my yellow bell bottom jeans have long since gone.

That was the great time to Australia

[@PopCultureSpread]

This is amazing to see our home town back in the day!

[@pawellewis2155]

LOL! Sometimes visited, the Old Lions discotheque.

I used to live in Adelaide I prefer it in the 80s and 90s.

The State Library has two films in the collection about the history of the Festival Theatre. They are "The other opera house" (1974) and "Adelaide Festival Centre" (1998). We are not able to add them to KZbin; the films can be viewed by visiting the library.

Ahhhhh Adelaide 1973 went there with my family to see other family there in 1973, first day at my grandparents place where we were staying I met a girl called Mandy, she became my girlfriend for the 2 weeks we were staying there, lovely memories.

[@Jayar74]

The horse-drawn buggy they are looking at the Hahndorf Mill is as old and curious as us looking back on them and the moon landing now.
