Quite amazing. Most of the people are now gone, the toddlers are in their 60's now. Time passes quickly. What a beautiful City it was, innocent and clean. We fall downwards rapidly now. Thank you for the wonderful footage.

I remember carrying a heavy bag of lay-by stuff up the staircase at Myers with my mother back then. It was the first time I saw an elevator which had an attendant to operate it for you. I asked my mother if we could go up in it but she said: "No, they are too exclusive for us". I asked what exclusive meant and she firmly replied: "They are for customers only". I then struggled with the heavy bag of stuff we just bought there and trudged up the staircase thinking my mother makes absolutely no sense at all. Very conservative times for most.

@@GlowingTube wasnt all good back then as there was no anti venom for venomous poisonous spider and snake bites meaning death was likely from such bites and lack of dna science meant innocent people got hanged wrongly convicted of murder back then and the society was lacking in advanced medicine and technology and advanced surgeons when needing to perform serious operations chemotherapy treatments and some homes had no toilets and the sewage system wasnt to the high standard in todays melbourne and open discrimination against aborginals was ignored by the cops the white policy existed and homosexuality was outlawed

People were well dressed, far more dignified. When i was a kid in the 70s my Mum would take me in on the train from Auburn Station and we'd come out Flinders Street via the Degrave Street subway. There was always a man in a wheelchair selling the Sun or the Herald. From there, it was three arcades two Burke street Myers. . These days one of them is gone. I loved that walk. Lunch was at the Coles Cafeteria or Myers, but Coles was famous with the ladies in yellow uniforms and tiaras. Australia was a much more cohesive society then. Thats the nicest way i can put it.

I was 6 and my Nana would take us to Meyers, where we had meat pie and chips in the cafeteria. Then run amock outta control. Toys were a great pacifier. Then, on Saturday, avo Carlton with Uncle Joe and Nana, but Barrassi was our favourite player. When he came to Carlton in 67, my uncle cried, "There is a God." Oh, I lived in Jacana then.
