TVW News Archives - Circa 1970-1971

[@rogergascoigne7590]

1971 Boan's Christmas Parade. I'm driving the Channel 7 vintage car for Sandy & Percy Penguin. Never imagined I'd ever see that footage, what a hoot. Great times.

[@diegocaramanico3866]

I have lived in Perth all my life I was about 7 at the time .. what memories thank you for posting ...

[@stephenvelden295]

Saw a HQ Holden. So this would be 1971. No HQ's in 1970!

Most of Australia was flooded this year. El nino never happened.. another climate crazy 🤦‍♂️

Great footage of construction of the Perth Concert Hall.

[@thewholls7176]

The concert hall was opened in January 1973 so based on the stage of construction there I’m guessing this is actually a 1972 video

[@pavementpounder7502]

Great footage of my home city, thanks for uploading. Interesting to see the Concert Hall under construction. Perth was really booming then, as the growing skyline shows.

When perth was a nicer place. Give me a time machine.

[@eddybulich3309]

Thank you for posting this. Takes me back to my childhood. I had forgotten what my city looked like then.

[@leopoldonotarianni8663]

Some of the traffic scenes are 1973. The newest cars I see are a VJ Valiant Charger and an amber blinker update HQ Holden

[@Jonoes292]

At 0.48 there is footage of the rear of a Holden Premier, the first model with the new sloped rear side panels. I remember as a young boy my father proudly announcing he was the first bloke in Perth to take delivery of the new model, and I am fairly sure that car in the image is his. About spring 1971 I think?

[@bowser9960]

Jonathan Mathys would have been hundreds and hundreds of HQ's around then

[@elizabethblackwell6242]

Perth public servants got advance distribution of Holdens back then. My dad was the head of public health and we always had top-of-the-line Holdens (Caprice or Statesman, maybe) months before anyone else.

[@thetonedeaftenors]

The music makes Perth seem so dramatic lol.

[@CovidConQuitTheCensorship]

Annoying isn't it? Wtf 😂

[@conroynathan3024]

I've lived in Perth for over 20 years now and I would like to say what a great city it has turned into.

[@CovidConQuitTheCensorship]

Hmm I digress. You obviously live in a good suburb? Crime is really bad now. I'll take it as it was then

[@pavementpounder7502]

Wow someone actually not complaining about how their city has turned to crap and how things used to be so much better.

[@fabianpatrizio2865]

@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship I agree

[@CovidConQuitTheCensorship]

@@pavementpounder7502 that's because they don't know how good it was, duh 😂

[@RCoon72]

this is the same as the other news archive that was uploaded 3 days before this

[@brian_larwood]

Fantastic footage, the only question I have is, why is there no footage of the Apollo 11 Astronauts visit to Perth? They arrived in Perth on the 31st of October 1969 - Try finding footage of that event, its almost impossible!!!

[@rubber4532]

Is that Perth train station at 4:55?

[@0z6s]

Yh

[@elizabethblackwell6242]

Perth Concert Hall. Better acoustics in a Coke can!

[@allanmeyer7970]

Actually, arguably the best acoustics in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere!
