Watsonia High School - March 9th 1972 - Theft by Stealth

I shot this film! I was a teacher there. The low-loader had arrived around 7.30 am and would have got away except that a colleague of mine arrived early and blocked it with his car.

Thanks for filming this priceless piece of 'time capsule' footage.

Wes - the houses are on Moodie Street and Sainsbury Avenue. Where the portables sat, is now Liat Way, what is now the G'boro Bowling club rooms was the WHS library, the pool was built by Ed Dept.

David Kefford I knew it would have been you who took the footage. You were always an activist.

I'm a bit puzzled: are the houses on Warruga Pl or is it Sainbury Ave? It's not the front @ Nepean , is it? Love the little green Datsun 1200 at the end.

I think the houses at 1:29 are the corner of Sainsbury Ave and Cam St

Monty Vale had one leg, large bloke.

I was there. Well, I was in class and one of the junior ranks so we didn't get to have as much fun. But the Bob Fell thing? Yup....I know that happened. His son was in my class.

I guess he picked the wrong foot.

Well 4 March 1972 was a Saturday, because I attended a wedding that day.
