- Historical images of Brisbane, Queensland in the 1940s and 1950s. Old photographs show vintage scenes of streets, people and businesses.
When I was growing up during the 60's and 70's we had Rock 'n' Roll George driving his 1952 FX Holden up and down Queen Street. George died in 2009, aged 82, after living all his life in West End. I avoid the CBD like a plague now, but in the 1970's there were some fantastic shops hidden away in the alleys and backstreets.
Yes brings back memories .I used to go to and from school by tram ,remember them well .Simpler times pre political correctness and all that it entails
My mum knew rock n role george.
My mother didn't know him she remembers him.
My mother went in his car to his mother's house once with another girl and a guy. She was only 16 or 17 at the time. My mother's 69 now.
Wish today's ladies wore those beautiful long dresses they wore back then. So classy.
Every time I see images of the Bellevue, it reminds me of what a criminal act - a mongrel act with its demolition unbeknown to the people of Brisbane by the notorious Deen Brothers in the middle of the night in 1979.
Well put together, including the zoom and pan.
at 2:51 - Rome in Queensland. I've never seen such an image. thanks.
Unfortunately by 2004, the first time I visited Brisbane, I was shocked to see no heritage buildings. I felt it was very characterless, unlike Sydney and Melbourne that are better IMO.
What happened to all the old buildings?
@@ajs41 @ajs41 I don't know, but I've heard a lot of old buildings were demolished in the 70s and 80s. They also wanted to demolish a lot of old buildings in Sydney back then, fortunately the unions prevented this with what was known as green bans. No unionised worker would work on those historical sites until heritage sites were secured.Of course such action by unions would be illegal now, and unions have been hollowed out and destroyed. Viva la democracy, huh?
The character of it being characterless from the lack of heritage buildings is not so much because of the destruction of older buildings but the use and function of those older buildings. Melbourne and Sydney from their earliest days were seen as important cities hoping to rival the cities of Europe, where people wanted to live. Money was lavished on important landmarks, and space was set aside for reasons of character. From Brisbane's earliest days it was seen as a place to make money and then move back to Sydney and Melbourne to parade that wealth. Little was invested in Brisbane that wasn't purely functional, and mostly with short term priorities. It's true that a lot of old buildings were torn down, but they added no more character to the city than the buildings that replaced them. By and large the intention of the earliest buildings was that they would have a limited use and life. From the perspective of impressive older buildings Sydney and Melbourne are far superior, but this is due to money being drained from Brisbane to the south in those earlier days and a lack of importance placed on the city.
any photos of Anzac park after leaving Central station tunnel, ? when there were memorial pools with gold fish in them ...along with the bottle trees I think are still there
Thank you.
Wish Brisbane trams didn't dissapear.
Jacaranda in New Farm Park, the Ekka , organ concerts in City Hall, Billy Graham evangelistic outreach at the Showgrounds...
Thanks for watching
as a new resident... this is magical to see our city's "every day in life" snippets! OMG Trams on the Story Bridge?
I know you are new but that was Victoria Bridge, not Story Bridge.
so much has changed
The beautiful city I was born too late to see. Yet my ancestors roamed this landscape. This is our place. As much as it is all the immigrants brought by British Colonialism. Lest the sad part of the comment is that the world has fallen to things I do not wish to discuss.
Your ancestors? Do you have any actual proof that they "roamed" this landscape? Or do you only have that they claim to have been here?
Imagine a world where the only time you saw a immigrant is when they where on holidays. Where peoples did not want to leave there own countries! Colonialism/Zionism is evil!
@@edstar01 Go back where you came from.
@@davidhoward4715 Rent seeking Australia Sir!
250 thousand additional slaves are invited in each year to keep the ponzi scheme going. AUSTRALIA is a private company registered on US SEC . that's why there is a pyramid on the roof of parliament house. weirdo united nations nazi freaks took over in 1973. that's why everything has been ruined or destroyed. no doubt about it.
What was the population of Brisbane in 1940?
about 340,000 people
@@CoogeeMedia Thanks. Incidentally I live in a small village in England where the population probably hasn't changed for hundreds of years. Slightly different to Brisbane.
@@ajs41 Mmm, Brisbane is slow growth compared to the march of urbanisation around the world ....a 10 plus million city is now commonplace.
About one million US soldiers arrived in Australia , during WWII . A lot were in Brisbane.
Anybody know what that Plume sign means Vic bridge ?
It was a brade of petrol and automotive products
Thankx, although I've never heard of them.
Was that Jimmy Sharman at the Ekka? 🥊
They destroyed our beautiful citiy with towering infernos
If you can't build outwards, (dislocating houses and businesses) you have to build upwards.
@@davidhoward4715 It`s true you sometimes have to build upwards but not indiscriminately as happened in Brisbane destroying many great quality buildings which were an important part of Brisbane`s heritage. Brisbane was never a beautiful city but it did have some very beautiful buildings in the centre which should never have been lost.
the satanic phallus icon. the egyptian oblelisk. number 1 william st. look at it ffs. brisbane has gone full retard, mostly.
yeah i agree with david armstrong what they did to the old cloud land was so slimey
I hate going into the Brisbane Central Business District these days. Even on a bright sunny day the streets are gloomy in the shadows of buildings. It used to be so bright, airy and sunny up to the late 1970's, but now ... BLECHHHH.
When I was married in 1983 I lived for a short while in Spring Hill. You won't believe the amount of noise there was at night from all the air conditioning units on all the buildings. What price progress?
Back when Australia was populated by real Australians
