Perth streets in 1908.

[@NickPenlee]

Some of these poor buggers would be fighting at Gallipoli just 7 years later!

[@ClintEaston-vx7un]

Classic. I even walk down St Georges Terrace. Awesome History. Definitely won't forget this

[@jomac2046]

Ezywalkin Shoe Store at 0:42 lasted until 1981 when they were bought out by G J Coles

[@jhors7777]

Thank you for posting this!

[@kingcoong]

Not even 1 minute in and there were already people brawling on the street. Perth hasn't changed that much lol

[@Squamousepithilium]

😂😂😂😂 mine also the same comment.

[@kingcoong]

@@SquamousepithiliumYou spotted another fight though. Nice one 😂

Yes. Level of urbanization and traffic and rush on the roads are just like they are in these days. Design of the bicycles too is very similar to these days. However, people look lean and more active than these days. Moreover, they appear to have a craze for industrial urbanization which is missing in these days.

[@savolrat]

Notice how cars have completely decimated the vibrancy and buzz of the inner city.

[@celticrose2]

Beautiful vintage film 🎞 👍🏻

[@daz4627]

Perth in 1908 had more character than it does now in 2024.

[@princejohn6560]

0:16 some things in Perth city are still the same.

[@Mertofduty1666]

Nop men, there isn't south america

[@MrPlazaPlayer]

When ever I see one of these videos it always hits home, every single person in this clip are dead and it’s kind of upsetting. Great to watch but always difficult to.

[@iv3474]

exactly what I was thinking too, crazy to think that out of the hundreds of people in this video not one of them are alive right now, not the children not the people fighting not even the person filming and its such a weird thing to grasp because people are used to the fact that humans have the chance to survive things but they can never survive time.

[@LR-ee2uu]

The futility of life. Not a living soul on this earth knows who any of them were. Just faces long gone.

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

Same can be said for most

[@oswaldthree]

Noticed the Alhambra Bars at 1:48 ..... Are they still there?? (they were in the late 60s!)

[@susanrudge5817]

Good music choice.

[@sharonfleming6314]

Brilliant video 😊 people long gone now ❤

[@naradaian]

More people on those streets than Perth nowadays

[@tracer7898]

my thoughts exactly.

[@caine1014]

maybe its looking East down Hay st, you can see the town hall clock in the distance, so the boy that nearly rides over the man is riding North up William St.

[@mattbarbarich3295]

20 years before any of my family came there. Interesting to note no motor cars yet on the streets of central Perth and only a few women ( all impeccibly dressed) about.

[@philipgolden8121]

Ahh! Perth, Australia I was looking for familiar landmarks of Perth, Scotland then it clicked

[@glasscity3104]

Downtown looked a lot busier back then even though Perth has nearly 2.4 million more people than in 1908.

[@Squamousepithilium]

0:14 lol guy walking looking somewhere and dodged other guy and fighting each other😂😅 2:16 guy dodged the bicycle guy and again fighting😂😂

[@benfrank1572]

oh those hats

[@Cobras_Nation]

Beautiful we can clearly see how Australian lady’s and gentleman’s are very well dressed and we don’t see half naked women on the streets unlike these days which is very common now.

[@stephenvelden295]

Obviously hats were popular back then!

[@dawgunna]

Is this barrack st?

[@imransharif443]

Good video

[@yaasinlutta1788]

reminds me of Perth drivers today😝

[@booradley0x0]

Is that Murray street?!

[@BillyBob-wq9fl]

Amazing how the convicts built up a civilization in such a relatively short time..

[@thevannmann]

Actually, Perth started off as a free settler colony for 2 decades then had some convicts but the majority were free settlers.

[@Jeffery_Saulter]

I think it’s more amazing that the ‘natives’ spent 80,000 years doing nothing.

[@brettmitchell6431]

WA was founded by free sellers. The convicts came later and were generally farm workers, although there were plenty of skilled convicts.

[@nigelbaddock]

@@Jeffery_Saulter Why is native in quotation marks when they are without a doubt native to Australia in the same way Germans are native to Germany.

[@scotttoobee5216]

Not a jacked up Land Cruiser in sight 😅

[@ianknight8131]

Spot the one without a hat

[@sergioperegrino5948]

Parece o "velho-oeste"!

[@chuckmaddison2924]

I got a notification of a reply. I went looking for what i wrote and it seems to have gone. I guess i must have put something derogatory about the boot polish club.

[@mrlewz0r]

Everyone's White. What a paradise.

[@pitultarygland]

oh that’s not…

Everyone's white. Yep. 100% agree. Multiculturalism is good in theory. Fuck off to all the virtual signalling progressives offended by my comment.

[@shantishanti1949]

Of course these horse and cart people built those beautiful stone buildings .... nothing to see here folks !

[@iamnotarobot2378]

There isn't a single motorcar even though it is 1908. Everybody, men and women, is wearing a hat and there are no small children whatsoever.

[@ACDZ123]

There wasn't many cars anywhere in 1908 lol

[@ophiuchus6721]

aww yes the big lie his story History look up Tartarian Truthers ?

[@brettmitchell6431]

But, but, but, Didn’t post WW2 migrants build everything???

[@minhollysope9309]

This is nearly 80 years post settlement so, no Eta: Perth was settled by free settlers so I guess they built quite a bit

[@trainshavewheels]

​@minhollysope9309 A great deal of Perths infrastructure was built by convicts after 1850. After that, the 1890's gold rush was responsible for a huge amount of infrastructure that you see in this footage, only a few years after the Kalgoorlie/Coolgardie gold rush.

[@robertfoster7807]

were perth women so unfreindly then as now😊

[@robertfoster7807]

cant see that many women

[@MrPlazaPlayer]

We all die at some stage. Don't spend energy worrying about it . Just make sure you get your heart right with God.
