This was the Melbourne I came of age in. I was a young police constable in Melbourne in the 60s, and all these faces, very many now deceased, are part of me.

at first i wasn't sure if this was melbourne, florida or melbourne, victoria but within seconds i knew which one it was because the people were so caucasian and so much more "british" in appearance than americans would've been at that time. that and, of course, the sides of the street the cars are driving on. i love this old footage of "common folk" i don't care where it's from this is awesome.

There are always good and bad things from every period/decade of history. It all just depends on how one chooses to view the world around them, no matter how old they are. Along with how cynical and pessimistic or how positive and blessed one becomes as they come of age and eventually start to grow old.

You’d have ‘had your ears pinned back’ in the house I grew up in, for saying that! The contradiction of growing up as one of four children, plus mum driving around the streets of Chaddy and Murrumbeena in a 1930’s style 2 seater - and a ‘safety zealot’ father who always made damned sure every car he drove had seat belts front and back. I don’t think my mother’s cars ever had seat belts in them until about 1972.
