Even in black & white it looks so green.

[@MrRockabilly70]

Great clip showcasing Melbourne of a bygone era when it truly was the world’s most liveable city. Thanks Gezza. 🙏👍

[@redwandennaoui4508]

emphasis on the word ..was! I agree..

[@brucekilby9957]

A time that was daggy,but it was safe,predictable,nearly ever one had a job,the footy was as good as now,in short it was Melbourne in the fifties and sixties. I miss it. Gezza thanks for your stuff.🇦🇺 🏉 🛵 🇦🇺

[@bradwilliams1691]

I'm 61 years old & I'd give everything I have to be able to go back and spend my remaining years back then.

[@anonymousr1918]

Me too mate

[@kostasfotiadis5109]

im 68 years old I feel the same lovely melbourne.....

[@cheltboy]

That's how I want to remember Melbourne. Thanks for uploading this nostalgic video.

[@ianomeara6263]

That was so nice to look at. We have lost so much of those times, and now with the queen pasting. Gezza 1967 Well done.

[@CC3193]

Seeing Point Lonsdale at the end - following a very different Melbourne than we know today - is reassuring, with Point Lonsdale having hardly changed. It's still a chill place with families, kids and dogs still doing these same quintessential activities today.

[@bert23337]

This is quintessential Australia. Australian made cars, Australian made population, all clothing Made in Australia and Australian made household furniture and appliances. A time when policemen were well presented and respected. Then came globalism.......

[@nicklazarakis4837]

How true. No fat people around. Eating real food. Not the crap people eat 2 day. No wonder hospitals are full. What a money making machine for big pharmaceutical companies.

[@johnkirkilis34]

The good old days, simple life without technology.

At 1.28 where the sign says Eltham straight ahead and Greensborough and Hurstbridge to the left is in Lower Plenty Rd between Rosanna Rd and Greensborough Highway going off to the left where the Watsonia army barracks are/were

[@Gator1699]

Thanks I couldn't work it out the rise threw me of.

[@jumbo6009]

Please take me back

[@greggraime2738]

Give us our country back.

[@AussieKim42]

Give it back to the Aboriginal people. You can go back to the UK.

[@swishswish386]

Thanks Gezza 👍

[@MMM-dq9jj14up]

AND, a time when AUSTRALIA made it's own cars.

[@georgebronte840]

And Almost everything else

[@Gator1699]

I lived in Eltham twice York St and Brougham St and Talor Rd Hurstbridge for 19 years.

[@perpetualgrin5804]

No graffiti anywhere.

[@gpet23]

Our country is F’d now. Seriously I’m glad I at least lived through the tail end of Australia as it once was. How one or two demographics and a shit government can absolutely destroy an identity.

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

makes me want to cry . i love Melbourne.

[@jumbo6009]

Blame the Immigration Dept....should be imprisoned for their betrayal.

[@xr6lad]

@@jumbo6009 fill it with one group of people from one country (or sub continent) and then they justjust rubber stamp every visa application from their comrades. After all we don’t have enough Uber drivers or petrol station attendants.

[@AussieKim42]

@@jumbo6009 Great. No immigration = not enough doctors, engineers, etc. Brilliant. 🙄

[@krakajak67]

And they sold it to us as the diversity we had to embrace. In fact, it was even sold, just forced upon us.

[@greebo7857]

To think, I could be one of the kids in this vid. I'm not, I don't think, but I could be.

[@williamrubinstein3442]

Don't forget though that big shops closed 12:30 on Saturday and all day Sunday. If you wanted to buy anything you had to go to a milbar. Made no sense.

[@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479]

Yeah and now society are all little consumer monkeys that live for the shopping malls lol... Pretty sad if you ask me

[@xr6lad]

Yes but you bought within your means and didn’t need a credit card to pay on the never never.

Hardly any skimpy outfit.
