Sad! 😢

Great video!

I never caught a Train until I became a Tram Driver. We had a free travel pass. Only employees were allowed to stand at an open door by then '88

I grew up on Hume street Salisbury north between 1990-2003. So many memories, good & bad. How time goes fast. This was an interesting video thoroughly researched. Great content.

I see the old Round Up which became the Gravitron later on..

Regardless of what genre you follow-if you believe and truly take it to your heart-play respect to your Superstars-never giving an abandoned name and support them forever-remember they have given you so much+music is the greatest art form that will ever be?.

Why have dash split up so often you say-the answer is easy and simple-just when you think you're fans cannot take anymore the guarantee your success you depart and leave them wanting more-there is a reason everytime they release any sort of music-it shoots straight to number one-Dino and understand-not only are they genius musicians-they know and understand their targeted audience-and take advantage so-f****** Legends and guards chalet forever remain!.

That's a great question, what will the a Holden look like in 50 years time? Well in 2048, Holden will be a long distance memory. Only 22 years from when that video aired, Holden was finished in 2020.

Adams road was the original main track to Gawler from the Little Para river crossing near Salisbury's Old Spot Hotel, following along the foothills. This is why many of the areas oldest homesteads were built on or near it. Pretty much at each creek crossing a homestead was built, in the late 60's there were about 5 still standing from memory. The suburb of Hillbank was the first to chop it up and slowly it was cut up further until only the northern part is still used. An old farm house still exists on (the now) Blackburn/Bogan road cnr Hillbank (next to the old Drive-in). There was a farm on Adams rd/Kinkaid/Willison road cnr Elizabeth East, who managed the old horse riding paddocks for many years. The Adams homestead Whytebanks is now Jubilee Park on Adams creek, located between Elizabeth Park and Craigmore, the last traces of the ruins only disappearing in the 1980's. The Hogarths homestead was last operated by the Watson family and its yards are now part of the Smith Creek walking trail. Craigmore's Estia aged care center is built upon it now. Their was another still working homestead in the early 70's on Adams rd/Craigmore rd corner behind the big water tank.

so many friday and saturdays at the skating rink . was my younger brother;s home training rink for state trials and my younger sister and i trained at the swimming pool beside it three or four times a week from 6ish in the mornings . no heated aquadome in those days lol

Why is the start and end cut out? The video goes further out of sync with the audio. Video is blurry and 25 frames per second leaving out one entire field. RUclips supports aspect ratios other than 16:9, adding pillar boxes is not needed. I have uploaded the full video.

So wonderful to see. Thank you. I was telling my 13 year old son about the chair lift and Mad Mouse and could show him ❤

Youre so negative. Its all nonsense. Industry comes and goes, its a fact of life. Happens everywhere...Lizbuff is great, Ive been here since 1959, I ve seen it all. 😊

Elizabeth was a town where you could go and find a job from many different factories. It had shopping centres in all different areas and then we had a large shopping centre with Jon Martin's, Woolworth, Coles and many smaller shops. Just to walk down to the centre and look around was excitement in itself. Outside, there was a small parkland where you could sit under a tree in summer. And of course, the pond with the fountain to stand under on a hot day. Across the Main North Road, there is Freeman Park with a large pond, which ducks would swim around and you could take a walk around the many paths.

Magic. Spent a few sunburnt hours at Bethbury swimming pool! 😂

my mum and dad got the 3rd set of keys given for the housing trust in the south . what i remember as a child was christmas mornings, going out the front and all the kids of the neighbourhood with their new bikes riding up and down goodman road. we were having a ball!!!

There also used to be a skating rink at modbury in the 90s before it closed.

Larkhill was a proposed name for Elizabeth? I grew up in Bulford Street, Elizabeth North, not far from Larkhill Road.

Effectly some of the small shopping centres started to closed down because of the large Elizabeth Shopping had a large number different shops. And of course there was John Martin's department store.

Let’s not forget ex Elizabeth or Salisbury things like J1’s and before that TL3 and T530 plus the 500/502 and before that TL10 we’re not invented yet or didn’t exist so it was this train or 45 minutes to an hour on the quickest bus of the day.

Love it. Remember it all so well. I can smell it

Eliz. North shops...we called them the new shops, as opposed to the Hilcott St shops ...were magic. Had everything, even a library... back when people read books. 😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nice to see this old video. RUclips supports aspect ratios other than 16:9, the blurry pillar-boxes aren't needed.

They got an opportunity they wouldnt have had in their homeland

They call this place a black hole... Because the majority of us here are stuck here.

I remember that fountain, when we were kids were used to bubble bath liquid in it hahaha, you would get a flogging back then if you got caught doing it by the adults.

great video ..especially when I saw my dear friend tony fusco in the video. R.I.P my Italian friend..🙏🙏

We use to live in Elizabeth East and Jimmy Barnes and mum/dad, brothers and sisters. There was no school in Elizabeth East, so my brothers and I had to walm to Elizabeth South for the first year. Move closer to home when to Elizabeth Grove , then to Elizabeth East school. At the new shopping centre some of us went to a dancing class . It was upstairs, which was only two store building in the whole centre.

Thank you Will for keeping the history alive. I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos. Well done!

Nice video! Could I know what song is used?

There was no social breakdown...thats nonsense. You always paint such bleak picture. T he Mothers and Babies Health Association was fantastic and how good was the Commonwealth Employment Service!

I remember that duststorm. I was at a neighbours house, and we watched it coming. They thought it was the end of the world! 😂

Although mostly factual, the video paints a dark , gloomy, depressing picture of Elizabeth. Having been in the area since 1959, Ive seen a lot of change, a lot of it for the better. You dont mention the schools, hospitals, roads, freeways...etc. The development of Munno Para, and Smithfield has been fantastic....previously it was a bit of a run down no mans land. A real credit to the Govt, and the council. All my life Ive listened to people bagging Elizabeth, most have never lived there....Will always be a great place to live, plenty of worse places in the state...😊

Think the Court Ballroom was gone by then...it was good. Hated dancing, just wanted to dance with my mates sister...😂

We left England in 58, arrived in 1959. We stayed in Elder Park Hostel. When we arrived on the ship, Strathmore, at Outer Harbour, my brother was loaded into an ambulance in a coma with undiagnosed disease, and taken to Northfield Contagious Diseases Hospital.... Turned out to be meningitis. He nearly died, but recovered, and is alive today. We bought a house in Elizabeth North, did all the gardens...happy days! My jobs in Elizabeth were at WRE, where I did my apprenticeship...electrical, ATCO Structures, and Holdens, 21yrs. My Mum worked at John Martins in the city, and at Levis, my wife worked their too, at Levis. My Dad spent most of his life in real estate. Everybody knocks it, but Elizabeth was magic back then, and even better now!😊🎉🎉

Went to a meeting of the SA PVC down Port Adelaide way back in the day. Didn't feel welcomed at all. Struck up a conversation with two other guys who were there and felt the same. We started the Southern Aurora PVC. Not much to show for it sadly but was a friendly bunch I do remember that. Ah the blue fur in the back and the B&W tv in mine, so classy. All that remains is that tv. The van was long traded ;-( Great days though. Thanks for sharing this . Was great to watch and I remember Ian Evans Igloo van from Victoria. It was a stunner.

I lived in Monarto South in the mid to late sixties as a preschooler - it was a railway town then and I have fond memories. Dunstan was a d***h***, really, as was Olsen (Sold ETSA).... visionaries without focal glasses. Shame on them for their botched and self-serving lack of planning. Throw John Bannon into the mix - and the destruction of SA was guaranteed (Apologies from me for my most brutal comments anywhere, ever, on RUclips) - but an honest view.

Thank you Will, for presenting this irreplaceable history... someone should, and you did! It is a fascinating, amazing, journey that you took me on. Thank you again :)

Ls2 cammed 3"cat back exhaust upgrade throttle response BEAST👌🏼❤️🇦🇺🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇪✝️🙏

Now look at the dump, shite fight.

The Media is a Cult, Fake News Media, even back then. Trouble making baskets!

The garden was a pleasure to go and sit under a tree. The pond was great for some kids to splash in when it had hot summer days.

Lived just 15 minutes from Virginia . Thanks showing the history of the town. Not relying about the Irish settlement, interesting.

My sister in law played skate hockey at the Elizabeth rink. That were my brother met her. When skating a number of times. With the open swimming pool next door. It was the places to be.

There was a life where every family had a family member who had a job at Holdens and many other factories. Watching Elizabeth grow from muddy drveways towards expanding from Salisbury to the foot hill where we use to go for walk and visit the hor.

Watch the shops being built . It was like a luxury to go to the shops, yea all open air . The garden was a nice place to sit and have lunch.

Hot summer was hot, no air conditioning doors wide open, seat began hot and sticky. This video sure is a reminder we lived , a more relaxed and happy existence.

The Octagon was not demolished.

Moved in April 1959, Elizabeth as a child, watching the north of Adelaide from an island of surroundings farming land.

Both of those venues were great, I helped some local mates in 2 different high school bands set up the stage, sound and lighting, back when we were still teens at Elizabeth high, strange how thinks happen, later on in life, I end up working first as a Tech in the Scott Theatre, and then Manager of the Scott and Union Hall, all up four over 25 years...
