I was 19 the year this film was made. Born and bred in Sydney. Every moment of this film brings back recognition and memories --so many sights and items I knew well. Such a pleasure! "Anne" is truly typical of the fashion-conscious young woman of 1971, right down to her pantyhose, pastel lipstick, zero blusher and pale pink pearlescent nail polish (though she is probably too fashionable for a Gundagai girl-- there was a visible divide in those days between the dress of city youth and country youth-- country stores simply didnt stock the range of fashion or the on-trend stuff that city stores did. When I walked down the main street of Narrandera in 1972 , not far from Gundagai, I got second looks, just because of what I was wearing. You could only get clothes like mine in Sydney. Not expensive, just trendy ). I too flirted on a night-time harbour cruise in my teens, shopped at the local greengrocer's run by southern European migrants who picked and packed your items for you, and occasionally got food from the only takeaway establishment around, the Chinese restaurant selling "Chinese and Australian meals". If you didn't want fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour pork or the curried prawns, you could get steak and eggs. In today's Sydney, "Anne" could not afford to move into a shared flat on the North Shore on a low paying job -- but, rent was way cheaper in those days. I lived on the south side of the harbour, lower middleclass, less affluent than "Anne's" relatives, my local peers would not have automatically furnished their flat with new things, they would have relied on second-hand things from their families - but I get that the producers wanted to showcase Australian consumer goods. One slip-up which speaks to me of the generation gap ( a new concept then), was the producers having Anne's new boyfriend take her to a drive in on a first date! That was a risky move for a guy, as it would have signalled to his date that he had one thing only on his mind ---drive-ins were not known as "passion pits" for nothing! I am sure the producers did not mean to indirectly convey that Anne was "sexually liberated"!

Gees I went to the drive in a few times. No one ever complained & I was going out with just everyday girls . I never gave it a second thought . Sat night they were packed too. If I owned a panel van it may have been different. It was her very small bed that made me grin.

I’m 59 .. I was 11 going on 12 in 1971. I just loved the 70’s ... there wasn’t another era like it ! Ann talked quite posh though ... from a priveldged family I think . I’m from Victoria and it seemed back then that Sydney siders talked more posh than the Victorian counterparts ! In 1971 I was wanting to be older to enjoy all the changes that women were going through with fashion ect so I was glad to be older at least in the mid late 70’s Ps when I saw that kettle it brought back memories! I think they were called Burko kettles or something like that .Everyone had them . Also I remember those wooden bead thing that kept her ponytail in .. all the girls had those too. Lots of old memories from a quieter gentler time

Love how short her dresses were in 1971 .As a guy who started dating at that time I just loved them . Then in about 75 they came down to mid calf & staye there . Interesting how the train from Gundagai to Sydney is on the the Newcastle line. I remember well the drive in Cafes & the drive ins. Ann is about 4 or 5 years older than me. I wonder honestly what happened to her in the real world . It was the time when people started living together and it was becoming very common. . Also the time that we stated to move by air instead of trains.

Yes it is a bit of a confusing one but it was actually made, like so many of our films, to encourage and inform intending migrants. The usual catalogue of available things are all there like jobs, housing, consumer goods, lifestyle and I guess in this case a husband. There is a slight nod to women's independence maybe but then as you say conformity is the dominant theme.

This is an accurate depiction of life at the times. Far more so than one can get from films of the era. It is a real treasure. There are quite a few pious souls commenting here, which is very insulting to that wonderful simple era. Ok, it does not contain the darker side of life, but why should it? It was highlighting the best part of living at the time and there is nothing wrong with that. By and large, this was how simple people lived and what most people strove for when communities had values and ideals, instead of being disturbed by new wave socialist extremists with insidious propaganda that destroys the quality of life that was so wonderful back then.

There wasn't a lot of money in the economy in those days. Yet people made the effort to look good and be well dressed. Clothing in particular was more expensive in relation to your wages then than now as imports had relatively high tariffs (until ofcourse Gough Whitlam changed that in his time of being the Prime Minister, 1972-75). Homes were simpler and we had far less possessions and material things in those days than we do now.

I couldn't believe my eyes when grocery prices were only a few cents and the price of a toaster was only $13.95, in 1971. Today, those prices have gone through the roof like all other retail products.

The average weekly wage was about $75, so not cheap at all, but electronic goods were probably well made and would have lasted years and years. I still have appliances bought in the late 1980s and even a Sanyo fan from the mid-'70s, all still going strong.

I finish form 6 (year 12 now in Victoria) in 1971 before joining the Army and remember the girls in mini skirts well but you had to have the figure to look good. Not much junk food then to ruin a girls figure though. I did buy my first KFC (dinner box) for $1.78 in Albury on the way to Kapooka (1 RTB) in 1972. With inflation the dinner box is still under $10.00.

@LibertyDownUnder The Film Australia Collection represents the Government of Australia official film units from 1913 to roughly 2005. The films, especially the early ones, were made to present the Government view on many and varied subjects but lots concerned immigration, like this one. Lots of nation building and propaganda.
