just reminiscing I was only about 7 then , I didn't remember the police manning the school crossings then . I think I remember people where a bit friendlier then, they didn't have the me me me hang up like it seems the norm today.

Those Holdens date that film to the first half of the sixties. I was still only knee high to a grass hopper then. Was still a time of post war optimism and innocence. We used to have a horse and cart milkman. There was a door to door greengrocer.Certainly does make you reminisce. Were I grew up was considered a country town then, now it is a outer suburb. Hmm I do remember we had a light blue Fe Holden.

Yep we had an ice box so and iceman came once a week, we had Baker Boy Bread delivered by Van, the milk was in bottles delivered by horse and cart. Interesting how the Melbourne sky line has changed, I remember going into CBD on a school excursion to go to the top floor of the Mutual Permanent building, I think it was and that was like 18 - 20 floors or something High. The guys in the vid hanging lunch/Smoko sitting on top of a building girder wouldn't be allowed these days, no evidence of any safety harness. I can't place that curved building seen in parts of the Vid, I think that was on St.Kilda road?

The Holden factory is building the HD with the 149 engine, 1965-66.

Not only is this very entertaining, it shows how big the London network is - and how **** Melbournes is...

Yes, and there was one HD seen momentarily. One scene in the market showed handling banknotes, and these were pre-decimal, as they had white borders. This suggests the scene was pre-January 1966, although I suppose the old currency was still used for some time alongside the old, so it is not definitive.

14th of February 1966 John. I remember it well. HD finished in 66. First Australian car with curved side windows and what were known as livers coops, beside the headlights.
