Now its bogan's in tracksuit trousers and the like. I once emailed the MCC saying that bogan clothes and thongs should be banned from Melbourne CBD. It did not happen.

You know I really miss that quietness and stillness of an old Sunday where nothing was open except for Victoria Market when I was a kid in the 1980's..I remember in 1990 that at 11 I overheard that melbourne was going to consider having open trading hours and I thought that this was the best thing ever! Only because melbourne/the city were once so good. Now at 44 I can't bear to be in the city any longer than an hour and will find any excuse to leave not go there of I can?! 34 years has changed alot and go figure!

I remember the opening of the new city square on Collins & Swanston sts in the early 80's was such a big deal and eventually became a bad cruddy hangout spot. Now today its a hotel i believe

Yep, I use to enjoy being able to meander the city when it was deserted.

Great dress standards. No thongs, no poor fitting track suits nor grubby vagrants.

The Age had Newsday in competition as well to Herald and Sun. After launching within 9 months it was it withdrawn as ardent byers of the Herald and the Sun went back to them

Two Yorkshire men were standing outside a Burton's and one of them pointed at a shop window dummy ,with a man's 3 piece suit on it and said " That's the one eyed git ! " Just then a Cyclops walking around the Corner at that moment and saw him pointing and saying it , kicked his head in !

The SUN-HERALD is a Sunday paper from Sydney not Melbourne! So how is the woman reading this paper on Sunday in Melbourne??
@ACMICollection3 жыл бұрын
Sharp eyes there Graeme!! Perhaps she's a visitor to Melbourne and brought it with her? She might be an ex-pat Sydneysiders who's made the wise choice to move to Melbourne but couldn't let the need for Sydney news go. :-)

The Sun Herald was a Sydney newspaper, however it would have been sold in Melbourne in some newsagencies, perhaps flown in. Whatever, the lady was certainly in Melbourne.

Melbourne had the Sun and the Herald the sun in the morning the Harald on the evening, then it merged into the Herald Sun.

Melbourne did not have Sunday newspapers printed at the time - part of the very theme in this film. Sydney papers were indeed sold here with the small spoiler paper the Sunday Press starting in the 1970s as a joint venture between the Herald and Weekly Times and The Age. Also we had the Melbourne Observer/Sunday Observer at the same time. Full line newspapers finally arrived in Melbourne in 1989.
