Driving around Southport, Gold Coast - 1997

[@Inaworldoflove]

It's weird to think that probably 99% of vehicles are now scrap metal.

[@jogoldcoaster2847]

How about some of the drivers...same situation...long gone...😢

[@Inaworldoflove]

@@jogoldcoaster2847 I always think that when I see anyone over 60 in 90s footage

[@DAVID9901]

this video, and the rest like it on your channel, is precious and I'm going to go through em all soon. greatly appreciate this man - a time before I was!

[@GavwasInn]

Cheers buddy.

[@padzyk5124]

Nerang - Southport road hasn't changed much besides the lightrail area near Australia Fair

[@philmuskett265]

A lovely look back at our recent past. Didn't see the merest hint of a tent city anywhere!!!!

[@peterkirgan2921]

I wish those days were still with us ❤

[@JJ-wn6jh]

It’s like one of those reaction tests. Everyone is stepping out onto the street or pulling out of side streets or car parks too fast.

[@paulalexander2144]

Brought back some memories.

[@JackThurston-pu2bk]

Yep wasn't bad place to grow up.

[@Twenty_Six_Hundred]

The roads are exactly the same other than all our classic cars are now gone and replaced with tradie utes and SUVs...

[@shagster1970]

When you could actually drive around Southport.

[@donttalktome-imacat2106]

Thanks for the nostalgia. Subbed and shared.

[@GavwasInn]

You're most welcome. Thank you.

[@Tyb53rotax]

The amount of toranas is crazy

[@gailmuir799]

I had a ford back then,I was thinking how many fords there were😅

[@bennyj8386]

What a time to be alive❤

[@jameskelso5311]

Interesting…. A combination of old and almost forgotten models of car, and the newer certainly not dominant or offensive. Didn’t see any BMW tank cars, or Mercedes. Strangely, this not only makes me feel much more calm and relaxed, but totally avoids the “triggers’ for comparison and anxiety.

[@dhruveshpatel3687]

yeah i’m living in southport i’ve seen all of these place same roads

[@jaybazza248]

So many tree's back then :(

[@joelgoetze]

Haha, this was the year I got my P plates, and I did my test on these roads.

[@hamoodtatari]

Wow this was 8 years before I was born 😳

[@ElizabethEllenCarter]

I was 27 when this was filmed. It's brought back so many memories.

[@gpm9333]

I was 24 when this video was made. Lots of good memories at the Gold Coast

[@davidklaehn2938]

You don't no what you missed out on.😅

[@coreycartmill]

Great footage. Anything of Helensvale to Parkwood, area?

[@GavwasInn]

I have this video. Gold Coast Hwy (Brisbane Rd/Frank St/Marine Pde) from Helensvale (what is now Exit 62) to Sundale bridge at Southport. I don't have anything Parkwood specifically. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4TSc2V9n66qppY

[@just_some_bloke]

These days there is nowhere to park

[@Slazmoservicing4209]

Who was Mr Pavements? Has some great footage!

[@samshepherd26]

I think it's Main Roads and these were survey vehicles filming for the Gold Coast city council

[@gailmuir799]

When Southport made sense 😅👍🏿

[@Davez621]

Wow I can't believe how many old shitty cars are still on the roads... 1970s models even. And almost no expensive cars either.

[@deyanaspring8742]

Wait, where are all the homeless and druggies 😮😮😂
