My grandmother would have seen all that. She was born in 1885 and passed in 1978. Nan & Pa lived in Carlton. I loved staying at Nans, she’d take me into the city in the 1960’s and we’d have lunch in there. Happy childhood memories. Wonderful to see how they saw parts of Melbourne, especially in colour.
Awesome to see Melbourne Australia in 1910. Our house was built in 1903, and we really appreciate your hard work bringing these awesome reconstructed videos to us all 🙏 ❤ 🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🪃🪃🏔
The inner city station at the beginning remained unchanged for several decades...in fact the trains we were riding in the seventies were electrics built in 1910 !
Commonly known as Red Rattlers. Their construction was superb; every fitting top class & very collectible today still. The doors were a real bitch to open & close sometimes though!😁😅
What I love about these old films of Melbourne & Australia , Otr places is that Architecture and how people dressed and often the streets are very clean, Melbourne in 2024 is like most western cities "Concrete Jungles filled with buildings that rarely have any architecture value. I think in the name of progress Apts / office buildings have dumbed down the city skylines. I see these people faces and wonder what they thinking about and did they lead a good life. In particular with Australian old films I can't help but think whilst all these people are smiling, and another group of people were enslaved not even considered human beings. I grew up in melbourne and love seeing these films thanks again NASS for your continued efforts to bring us footage from around the world.
I enjoyed this very much, thank you. The city of Melbourne was founded only around 50-60 years before this footage…it’s amazing to think all this infrastructure was created in such short time. Either the people were extremely hard workers, doing 12 hour days (which they did) and many people working (the influx of people during the gold rush pushed the population to explode during the last half of 1800’s) or…it was all here before the British came! 😮😉 “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create easy times. Easy times make weak men and weak men make hard times.” (I included both men and women in this concept.) To think, they almost abandoned Melbourne, due to it being mostly swamp land, at the end of the Yarra river. The whole area between Melbourne and western port bay was swamp and had to be drained, to put in roads etc. The main ports for importing goods were down the west coast near Portsea and to the east near sale. (That is why western port bay was called the western bay…because it was west of the main port. 😂😜) You can see all the topsoil in the western port bay the topsoil is meters deep, in there! I could imagine, the topsoil would have been deep in port Philip bay too. The work that it took to make Melbourne a city that we see in this footage, would have been a massive undertaking…the likes of which our current young folk would not likely, be willing to do! (No 8 hour days back then!!) I have some reel to reel (I’m not sure what it’s called) movie recordings, from my uncle who filmed around Melbourne during the 70’s I think…and possibly the 60’s. I’ve never seen them. I wonder if they will ever see the light of day? I also have hundreds of slides from my grandmothers world travels, from the 1920’s all the way up to the 1970’s. Also, my dad recorded things in Melbourne, the Yarra Valley and Sydney too. It would be great to have all their recordings put on to a digital platform for people to see. If I could…I would. Maybe one day in a hundred years or so, someone will find them and check them out…and compare them to what is there in the flesh. The difference may be as shocking as we see today. Thanks again for creating/posting this video, I first clicked on, in the hope of seeing my great grandmother and my grandmother in the streets of Melbourne…it’s been a nostalgic walk down memory lane, thinking of my family, long passed. Jen. Victoria. ❤️🙏🕊️❤️
Struck by how advanced many of these cities are for the time period. Melbourne was founded in 1835, so they built all of that infrastructure in just 75 years. Kind of hard to imagine.
Totally unbelievable, who made all these magnificent buildings, why do the power poles have no wires,why do most buildings have antennas, where did all the building materials come from ???? All made before power tools ??? His-story is NOT the truth !!
I was thinking the same thing. However, there is evidence to show, the population boom in the mid 1800’s would have bought many people into the area, with little money, they came seeking gold but would have worked on anything to earn money to survive. There are quarries around the outskirts of Melbourne, founded in the mid 1800’s. Bluestone particularly. I still agree, there is a great deal of infrastructure, for a practically new city. I knew an old bloke who worked on the snowy river dam, most men were foreign and was built in a very short time, considering how massive the task was…but that was much later on than Melbournes’ foundation. Melbourne was apparently, almost ‘abandoned’ as a city, before it was ‘founded’ (I remember reading that somewhere, many years ago). I wonder also, where are all the children, in the beginning of the video? I think the lights of the streets were gas lights. I remember my dad’s cousin, who was born in 1929, telling me the street lights had to be lit by people, specific workers employed by the city. He had salvaged some of them at sales in later years. I still have one from a train station…it is obviously a gas wall light. I think our history has been greatly manipulated to provide a narrative that keeps the masses from knowing how clever we actually all are…I think the powers that be God knows who they are) cause social upheavals intermittently over several hundreds of years, in order to cut population, usher in a new narrative, cause fear in order to better control…amongst other devious things. I was lucky to be born with an inquisitive mind, seeking much from my grandmother, who was born mid west Victoria but grew up in Brunswick and ‘uncle’, who grew up in Hampton and St Kinda beach and father, who grew up in Balwyn and Box Hill, who all knew the importance of preservation of truth. One thing that is obvious to me, the people of today are far less laborious, do not work as proficiently as the previous several generations, also, hard times make strong men, strong men make good times, good times make weak men and weak men make hard times. It’s just a saying and I’m not saying ‘men’ to be rude to men (I would include women in the concept too) but my point is, in only 3 generations, we can easily change our collective perception of what we would expect an average man to achieve in a days work. There are several possibilities to consider, in relation to the theory that history is not what it seems. All in all, I believe there are good reasons to believe, history is manipulated to fit a narrative. Jen. Victoria. ❤️🙏🕊️❤️

Funny how your 'thumb nail' shows the South Melbourne Tram as No. 18. May not be the same one, but in the 1960s South Melbourne was Tram 2A. Ran over Swanston St Bridge, down Sturt St onto Park Street. Not sure what Tram No. does that run now.
Thank-you from Melbourne! Anyone doubting whether fossil-fueled cars will soon disappear from our roads in favour of autonomous EVs should count the number of cars relative to horse-drawn vehicles. Only a handful of cars 115 years ago, but by 100 years ago the horses were gone....
@@NASS_0 You appear to be a man or woman of few words, but pictures tell a thousand words,. Made me very happy to see this video. So very well done, evocative, nostalgic, just right! My home town was/is pretty impressive!
Thank you for this remarkable video! To think this all happened a 115 years ago is hard to imagine. The one thing that always strikes me about this time period was the clothing. So impractical, so dense and heavy imagine women walking around like this on a 30deg day! All of this, of course, due to the remnant’s of the then, late, queen Victoria era who shunned any resemblance or semblance of immodesty and almost a fear of anything that could be remotely seen or even construed as sexual.
It’s very likely an Australian Rules football game. I’ve seen similar shots taken at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from about this time. By the look of the black and white ribbons on the hats, they are Collingwood supporters.
@@CapsizedCloud I don’t believe Melbourne, USA ever had a tram system… it’s only a small city of around 90k and back in 1910 it would’ve likely been around 1000-2000 people at the most as there were only 70 people living there as of 1885, Melbourne on the other hand was founded in 1835 and by 1910 was a a city of over 1 million residents. Melbourne of Victoria for which Melbourne of Florida is named is the original and the widely accepted titleholder of the name ‘Melbourne’. It is ‘Melbourne’ in the same way London, England is ‘London’ and not London, Ontario and Paris, France is ‘Paris’ and not Paris, Texas.

It’s always a reminder of the futility of life when seeing footage 100+ years ago; in 100+ years from now, people will look back at footage from our time & think the same thing 😢
How dull and unexciting the city looked back then. All the buildings have a sameness about them. The most interesting thing is the odd motor car in the street. Modern day Melbourne is visually interesting, the blend of old and new is stimulating, but no such stimulation back then.
@@EducatedSkeptic Stealing a loaf of bread to feed the family would get one sent out to penal colony. Gosh didn't they create magnificent feats in architecture in such a small length of time!
@@EducatedSkeptic Actually much of Australia never got prisoners. In the late 1840s there were riots in Melbourne when they tried to dock a shipload of petty criminal "exiles", before the ship was sent on to Sydney. That was the first and last time they ever tried to send convicts to Melbourne.
Cities were already built out and old in 1910. There's not enough time for all this to arise from a dusty far-flung colony by convict labour. History isn't making sense.
Lucky I didn't live in those days, my mother would have me picking up horse shit for her plants like I used to in Prospect Park in Bklyn., oh what the hell, made her happy !
