…..and very Australian, if you get my drift.

[@bradwilliams1691]

Ah, Melbourne! What a beautiful city....... It used to be.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

I loved it when I was little when my Nan who lived in Carlton took me into the city early 60s though - fun happy memories.

Music fits perfectly!!.

[@harryzlotzlottos5715]

Magic moments indeed…i grew up in North Melbourne in the sixties and fondly remember the Errol street shops, especially the toy shop next to the town hall .

[@westerlywinds5684]

Corgi Toys, Dinky Toys, Meccano, HO trains, etc. 😊

[@harryzlotzlottos5715]

@ Yes, I remember that heavy Meccano box. Same shop we bought Mr Potato head and the Batman utility belt… brand new !

When we dressed with pride.

[@clayauslewis4236]

The old pride!

[@COLEY72]

Yep

[@westerlywinds5684]

I still do, but I am often mocked because I still wear a tie to work.

Fantastic video mate!!

[@jandrew0639]

Something has gone seriously wrong with the country since then.

[@westerlywinds5684]

You may say the world.

[@davidharlem6824]

@@westerlywinds5684 Yes, a broken world indeed.

[@davidharlem6824]

The world made a lot more sense then.

[@westerlywinds5684]

Let’s be honest. We also attended church, and we knew what was sinful and what was righteous.

May parents era. Fascinating to see what the modern cars and fashion were in that time.

[@danrobinson572]

Awesome 👏 video Gezza

[@richardl772]

All the blokes looking good in hats…..

[@planetx1595]

I wonder when and why it went out of fashion?

[@barryspurr9577]

In the later 1960s when the sense of dressing properly and decently started to unravel, as in so many other aspects of society.

[@richardl772]

I have a feeling they’re coming back.

[@westerlywinds5684]

@@richardl772I live in Vancouver, Canada, and a few weeks ago I spotted this gentleman in bowler’s hat, coat draped over the arm, dressed up, strolling fast paced along a main Street.

[@roberttohill627]

I was born June 1958, women's hospital Carlton. Everyone overdressed in those days. Hats and coats.

[@barryspurr9577]

They’re not overdressed. They’re dressed properly and decently, with pride in their appearance. Unlike today.

[@gail2500]

Was that Queen Victoria Hospital? I was born there in 1956.😊

[@nicolasmoniqueeliadis5233]

G’day. Was born born in Sept 1958 at the Bethleem private hospital on Kooyong Rd 😊

[@jamesgovett3225]

Grouse looking at all the cars on the road, the 56 Ford Customline cop car @.21 to a twin spinner and all the Utes by business and tradies of the day from Holdens, Vauxhalls to Austin A-40’s etc, no SUV’s back then! And a good look at that woman pushing the stylised pram, no lightweight strollers then!

[@Chris-wj8fz]

I was born in Melbourne in 1952 but post war men were broken remember so we cuddled up to Menzies and quiet conservatism for our recovery then he reigned until 1966. We started to reject the uk/ usa breast feeding and grew up

[@Anarchsis]

And now we’re slaves to the Imperialist war machine that is America and the woke UN, we have never grown up because if we did we would be one of the richest countries on Earth and an ally of none but trade with all.
