31:45 the radio host mentions that the year is 2003 just before Christmas. I was 15 years old in 03, attending Girrawheen Senior High back in the day when R&B and Hip-Hop was the mainstream sound. Sometimes i just wish i could have appreciated the time better. I love seeing this video & i still love Perth such a beautiful place to live.

I first visited Perth as a Backpacker in 2004. I was flat broke. I got a job with a South African bloke who had me as a labourer renovating a shop which is now Sayers Sisters on Lake St. I polished the concrete floors (no mask nothing) for $100 a day I thought I was living the dream back then 😂It became an Art Gallery. I live in Adelaide now but visit Perth once a month.. it's a different vibe now. Mind you it is everywhere - people are on edge, more. Less trusting. Social media and the internet has a lot to answer for I reckon.

I really miss the old Riverside Drive before Elizabeth Key. Travelled that route thousands of times since the late 70's with my parents to my Nannas in Belmont. How you've bent to international pressure and so called 'development' Perth. Nostalgia is an extremely powerful thing.
@thevannmann4 ай бұрын
Disagree. Myself and plenty of others prefer it as it is now. As it was, the foreshore was a boring nothingness with no focal point and car-centric design. You can't complain about development and then say you missed an entire Riverside Drive cutting right across the foreshore. That's contradiction at its finest. Elizabeth Quay and surrounds now and will continue in future to provide a pedestrianised focal point along the northern banks of Perth Water. Sometimes, it's best to take off the rose-tinted glasses.

@@thevannmannwe can, just because you like it now and didn't like it back then doesn't mean it's better for everyone. Riverside drive was used for so many different things throughout the year which aren't possible anymore such as... 15:45 the moscow circus Telstra Rally Australia special stage Redbull Air Race Australia Day sky show concerts That's just off the top of my head but if i sat n thought about it for a while there is plenty more. Was it just a flat open grass land for much of the year? Sure, but the handful of events it was used for each and every year have all but disappeared as there is no where else suitable for many of them. It also used to be an emergency landing strip, whilst not really necessary these days it's just another indicator of how society and priorities have changed. The convention centre is an expensive eye sore, that even the government is admitting now was a mistake and is being redeveloped less than 20 years since it's completion. The Perth Arena is no match for the Burswood Dome - remember something called the Auto Expo? Yeah you're not hosting that in the convention centre or arena - the replacements that supposedly are bigger n better - are they? Elizabeth Quay and the new busport are okay but they are hardly a popular new focal point like say forest chase. When i look at all the "development" of the city all i see is poor decisions, bad planning and stuff that nobody asked for. What's your favourite thing about Elizabeth Quay that has only been made possible by it's creation? Another fancy cafe strip that hardly anyone goes to, not even by ppl who work in the CBD for lunch or friday night drinks? Sometimes it's worth listening to peoples complaints and not simply dismissing them whilst parroting government narratives about how these expensive projects which have failed to deliver on the promises they were sold under are actually a good thing... "pedestrianised focal point" Hey mate wanna meet for a drink at the Quay friday? - said no one ever 😂
@zengstephen2 ай бұрын
Elizabeth Quay is an expensive mistake in many ways. The biggest one in my opinion is that it cut off the Riverside Dr which connected to the freeway bypassing the CBD. Now every car needs to go to CBD in order to be go to freeway. Take a look the intersection of William Street and St George’s Terrace or The Esplanade at the peek times, it’s nightmare.

@holobolo1661 Not really. It's a western white nation. If the aboriginal people had managed to develop past a stone age society, perhaps they wouldn't have been overrun by a militarily and technologically advanced one. Invasion and colonisation was the way of the world for thousands of years. We're extremely lucky to live in a mostly politically stable world. Stick your virtue signalling comment up your dot.

@@holobolo1661might be ironical, but the peak of this nation was under European rule. And the downfall is coming steadily. Sure that the aboriginals might think differently, it sad what happened to their land and culture. But the Australia we know it won’t exist in a few generations. (It will get worse)
