Yours truly is a pop culture historian (i.e. I like old things !) with a particular interest in the 1950s, ' 60s and ' 70s - specifically the music, movies, TV shows, cars, architecture and men's clothing of that period
During the time that I was working around the broadcasting business (both radio and television) I came into contact with several industry veterans who had private archival material which they made available to me.
At the moment I don't have the correct equipment to properly digitize the collection that I've got. However, I will get all that organized very soon. PLEASE NOTE: All videos on my channel are uploaded for educational purposes only. Content is not to be used for commercial purposes under any circumstances. Also, please do not "borrow" any of my content and upload it to your own channel or the matter will be reported to You Tube.

Luna Park Melbourne Memories - One channel audio?
This was put together on VHS some years for my own interest....mainly to keep all of the old promotional recordings together for the Ghost Train, Giggle Palace, River Caves etc. As you can see, the video footage doesn't always correspond to the audio. As I understand, these records were played over the PA speakers outside of each attraction . For some reason, we've only ended up with audio on one channel. Why?...I'm not sure...as we had left and right audio out and in. As for the source of the video footage...from memory. much of it probably came from an NFSA production called "Bayside Reflections". No copyright infringement intended. Strictly uploaded to my non commercial channel for edu...

Haunted House : Melbourne, Australia

17 Byrne Avenue, Elwood, Victoria, Australia One of Elwood's earliest and grandest homes, "Thalassa" became increasingly run down as the years rolled on. By the 1980s and it was completely derelict although still occupied by its elderly owner who lived alone. When she finally left the property some time around the ' 90s, it seemed almost certain that the house would be demolished. However, a bu...

Built in the 1930s, the "Garden of the Moon", located near Dromana (actually at Arthur's Seat) on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, was originally (and somewhat ludicrously ) called the "Hollywood Inn". It was the creation of developer Howard Ratcliff Lawson who was also the man behind South Yarra's "Beverley Hills" aprtment block. Apparently Mr Lawson had a real thing for Tinsel Town. Set high ...

Some disorganized TV news footage of the Beatles plane arriving in Australia. Includes a reporter chatting to teenagers at the airport, Geoff Raymond at Festival Hall in Melbourne as well as John, Paul, George and Jimmy Nicol on the BOAC jet. As I understand they flew from Hong Kong to Sydney ? Jimmy had been filling in for Ringo who was back in London undergoing surgery. However, Ringo rejoine...
