My great great grandfather was Phillip Wirth
Magnificent spectacle of Wirth's Circus, and captured on colour film too. Wirth's was Australia's largest, most famous circus until it folded its tents for the last time in 1963.
Wish I could travel back in time so I could attend to old fashioned circus shows
Fantastic, wonderful Circus world 😸👌💯 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
good show.
Correction; they're arriving in Ballarat, not Geelong. The station at the beginning is Navigators, and 2:02 onwards is Lydiard Street.(Huddart Parker had an office on the corner of Lydiard and Mair Sts.)
Great, thanks for the information.
the circus guest have to see how was the circus way of life at this time
Beats the crap out of circus shows these days. They're dull now.
I thought the elephants trunk sticking out of the train (idk) was a dinosaur with a long neck :p I’m so dump
This video was in my circus school video :P
I just realised... this has so many views but so little likes..
THIS VIDEO IS DOING YA’LL A FAVOUR CANT YA’LL GIVE IT A FAVOUR TOO?
