Keeping kids safe at the beach in 1966 | RetroFocus

Love these old clips, they’re brilliant

[@lazygagalxxxv]

from 1966? So clear! Seems like from way later just in Bn W. I have noticed this about old Australian clips and photos. They had better cameras available to the public from very early on. These show people from the past were just like us. It brings them to life.

Really all film looks as clear as this. Check out some old Beatles music videos, they look great. The only reason why film always looks bad to us is because we usually watch them on a digital device, and the film was most likely digitized from a degenerated version, not the original film.

I wonder why you don't see too many kids carrying spearguns any more?

[@madisonmoffat5613]

I am so frustrated KZbin only allows you to give one like. This deserves at least 10.

Yes, I used to take a 5 prong hand spear to the beach. Today I would get arrested before I got on the train.

Reminds me of some fallout type warning guides and videos. The duck n cover type

Anyone watching this as a foreigner ?? And by 'foreigner', I just mean as someone that's not an Aussie 😉😎🤔😋😊 I'm Aussie but I'm curious just to hear from you fellow watchers! 😄😄😄

I'm from Himachal it's a state in Northern India and it's not anywhere near a coast so I'm curious about those kids with spearguns at the beach. Is that still a thing?

[@romynaa]

Yes, Hello from Germany!

[@canbot1]

It's probably a few hours to Neujahr out there but it's been a few hours for her and I'm 36 minutes in already@@romynaa

[@romynaa]

@@canbot1 Yes, 3 more hours!^^ It's currently 8:33 pm here

[@Michelle-pc6gp]

Can Bot no it’s not still a thing. This generation of kids have (generally) been brought up too stupid to be able to be let loose with spearguns. A lot of the kids in this video would have been at the beach by themselves - no adults. We would have been gone all day with no adult supervision and we would have done it every day throughout the school holidays. Most kids these days would get themselves into some kind of trouble eventually because they just don’t have the skills and common sense kids did years ago.

Nothing quite as enjoyable as a day at the beach killing things 😨

[@Ayyy-lmao]

No migrants. Wow.

[@chantalbourrut410]

You couldn’t be more wrong. From after the WWII till the 70s, thousands of migrants arrived by boat loads from Europe. In 1973, the White Australia Policy ended and Australia opened its doors to Asia and the rest of the world.
