PS: It's long (20m) but stick with it - especially if you were born around this time!
Classic , with some golden lines,
"with the workers gone the suburbs are left to the mothers and small children"
" she is working at a dept store just until she gets married"
" while the men are at work, the women are free to go about their shopping"
"Sydney has a number of private schools, some good ones, but Kim like 3/4 of the the children in Sydney goes to a public school,"
Pre-Hawke Australia...
Strange, I find it's made as if the 50s rather than 60s. "A woman's place is in the kitchen" kind of a tone, also the cheesy music sounds like propaganda newsreels from WWII.
Anyways 17:00, is that Paddington? 17:49 is that Narrabeen at the lagoon?
The fair hair kids around that part look rather sunburnt to me...
Thanks for posting, interesting clip.
For those of you who grew up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, there are shots of:
Forest High School
Warringah Mall
Manly Oval
Music Hall in Neutral Bay
Collaroy Beach
Palm Beach
Spit Bridge
Narrabeen Bridge
Cheers
Then shame there was no Balmoral.
Surely the "lazy women that have nothing to do because the men went to work", coulda brought the kids there for a stroll of a swim at the cage.
What a classic. Recognised lots of spots in there and as Albers said it was good to see some old footage of the northern beaches. I grew up around then at South Curly and its portrayed spot on. Good stuff!!
