[@jmw0368]

@@halld3460 That’s all a matter of opinion….I for one couldn’t stand the place and left! I found it full of thick, backward, narrow-minded, racists. Overrun with uncouth, barefoot Bogans who’s Drink & Drug culture is like nowhere else. Oh, and nobody can drive, to save their life!

[@pavementpounder7502]

Fascinating. Looks like late 70s to me. Perth has changed so much.

[@ACDZ123]

Yes. Looks to be around 77/78

[@jmw0368]

Has it?…..Still very backward I’d say?

I was a teenager of the 70's in Perth. Great times and a pity it's all changed for the worse.

Why has it changed for the worse?

[@every1665]

@@theblindfoldep It was way safer with some truly iconic unique businesses in the city. You could often park for free in all but major streets. Perth was basically closed from midday Saturday until 8:30 Monday morning. If you're under about 50, you know that lovely relaxed atmosphere Perth has on Christmas Day or Good Friday? Well we used to have that every weekend and people were more relaxed because of it.

[@freeman10000]

​​@@every1665 Perth is much safer in 2024 than it was back in the day. Google serial killers of Perth if you want some insight to what I am talking about. I guess a lot of people look at the past through a pair of rose coloured glasses, a sense of nostalgia. However, this 54 year old Perth resident believes the city's best years are ahead of us.

I grew up in South Perth 1979 god how I miss the coffee and chats with the neighbours

[@ceeemm1901]

Ngawyni at Ascot? Mount Eden at Gloucester Park? The Mighty Royals at Perth or Subi Oval? Hyde Park Festival? Not much high rise in South Perth yet. Deep Water Point skiing. Bombo Valley grape juice. Getting blotto on Rotto. Beautiful Art Deco pubs- Scarborough, Castle, Swanbourne, Mosman Pk, Shenton Pk, Majestic,...oops, where'd they go? Dirty Dicks, El Cabello Blanco. That little rocketship slide in the sand pit in the corner of the original Innaloo Shopping Centre and the Putt-Putt over the road.....and "The Drives"....how many did you fit in the boot, eh?

[@Charlie33399]

Oh my goodness. The slide at Innaloo shoos. I remember that and was starting to think I'd imagined it!

[@pjamajones8304]

Bummer about the sound..

[@ceeemm1901]

Remember Ivan wandering the streets with a hessian bag collecting bottles out of bins?

[@danellis-jones1591]

750,000 people in the middle of nowhere, with mostly unaffordable international flights. I mean, it's an attractive place to live, but you can't ever get away from the isolation back then.

[@freeman10000]

In 2024 if you want to live in a city of opportunity and leisure Perth is where its at. As an added bonus Perth has no toll roads and pokies don't ruin our pubs.

If you can afford to..we West Aussies are being priced out of housing by the influx of people moving here..

Yeah was so easy then but all good things change for the worst moved from Perth and regretted back to mad Melbourne

[@allaussie]

Bigger now, but oh so similar.

[@jmw0368]

What era did the shoeless bogans start appearing in Dullsville?

[@controloz3310]

Ahh Perth in the 70s. Where your plane would land in weeds and a 20c schooner was only thirty mins away in a taxi.

[@klyvemurray]

At Perth Airport, you could go drinking upstairs at "The Orbit Inn" back in the 70s. "Where your plane would land in weeds"?? WTAF?

[@siredith8846]

Unfortunately, racism was a big problem in Perth at the time. I went through a lot of it as a kid in the 1980s.
