Yup, I'm 64 today, I remember selling the Daily News at the Balga Shops "DAILY NEWS FINAL" it was 5 cents if I recall. The 353 bus at the beginning of the video was the bus we would catch from Perth to Balga.
I remember "The Weekend News" being sold outside the footy grounds on Saturday after the final siren. Used to always jokingly ask the kid, "Got the footy results in it, mate?"..haha. They'd look at you like, "You got any original jokes?" Haha.
I was in the SAS Regiment & had just returned from Vietnam, 19 years old. Perth was then & still is a beautiful city, we are so lucky to live in such a great place.
I wouldn't say safe. Heard of Eric Edgar Cook? Last man to be hung in Fremantle gaol. Times were much more unsafe back then, far more murders, rapes etc than we experience now.
@fredrikronnberg684 compared to other Australian cities definitely.. but there seems to be something more "brighter" about it back then.. theres no graffiti or neglected or abandoned buildings, no questionable folks loitering around and obviously pollution was nothing then compared to now but i would rather live back then and now.... maybe it's all the modern building and upgrades they have tried to mash with the historical... or maybe it's the overall "population vibe"...
@@GypSea_Blue And there are so many people going outside back then. The city is filled with lives. At 5:30 mark of the video you can see people enjoying their picnic at the Council House. It looks nothing like the Council House today.
because you was a child i think the same about 00s because that when i was a child. life was not less complicated just sheltered, i know that is good and it what parent should do but its much healthier to realise that life was always like that. having this change in thought will make it much easier to enjoy life.
gee, I work in construction in Perth now, some of those houses are still here today! I first came to Perth in 1982, me and my mates found a great pub, out towards the hills. Could I find it when I came back here to live in 2008??? I met up with some work mates out Gosnells. Standing in the pub I was telling the boys the story, I looked up and around me and geez, I was standing in it!!! Didn't recognise it with all the houses etc around the area lol
1972 I remember catching the train from Fremantle to Perth and went to Musgroves music shop and brought my first ELVIS album, the 1968 Comeback Special, I couldn’t wait to get back home to listen to it. Great memories and just fantastic time to grow up.
I was visiting my cousins in Scarborough in 1972, up on Hale Rd from memory (Wembley Downs). We went to Scarborough beach every day. I was 10…great holiday. Still got some family there.
Thank you for this video I was born in 1979 on the 150th anniversary of Western Australia and you have no idea on how much I miss Perth of the 80s and the early 90s in a lot of ways it was a far better place to live it was a damsite safer and it felt more like a community rather than a special economic zone like it is now thank you for that glimpse of the for the past❤
We arrived in 1970 from uk ..what a paradise to live in such joy growing up in perth ❤ ghee i wish it was like this now for my grandchildren to grow up in

We came back to W.A. to live in 1972. I was 12 years old, good grief it seems like yesterday and yet it seems so long ago. We had a house built at 57 Somers St. Belmont for $14,000!
I was a young mum in 1972 now I’m great grandmother wow time flew by the days when men were polite to the women and people were considerate to each other
This was all 20 years prior to when I came to Perth (March '92). Great to see how it all was back then. Not a single digital electronic system in sight!
We didn't arrive from Blighty until 74 but as I sold newspapers on the streets of Perth soon after arriving this video really brings back some memories. Thanks for uploading.
Wow I thought those bus stops were from the 90s as I'm an '86 model and remember them vividly from having one a few houses down on my road. My cousin ollied off one of those on his skateboard and snapped his deck, almost his ankle. Ahh the memories.
I noticed hardly any traffic on the road in the city middle of the day and just how slow the cars were travelling at . I was a newspaper boy in Fremantle in 1974 around the corner from Bousfields
that was the only outdoor escalator in the city and its still there! it was near myers opposite, then, what was the post office, yes those were the days when the prams used to go on the backs on the buses!
The cop asking the young fella not to sit on the planter box and the gent listening and standing up is the biggest change in the whole film. What would happen today? The other big change is how slim everyone was back then.
I was 20 back then and remember the milk delivery in the night and the baker bringing bread during the day. Also when the built the Tonkin hwy, we were the only car on it.
9:00 I don't recognise this spot. I would have been a two year old child at this point so quite possibly got pushed or driven past this corner several times. It looks like it may be around the Horseshoe Bridge area? It looks like a completely different city...
Corner of William and Wellington. The Metters sign location is now the site of the Yagan Square digital tower. The shop on the right is now Bocelli Espresso.
In many ways, a simpler, smaller, less developed way of life appears to make us happier. The future seemed to offer hope, and regular human interaction also contributes to this.
We emigrated there from UK in 1973 with2 kids (4 & 2). Thought we were in heaven. TBH it hasn't changed a lot. Great weather, if you like it hot that is !!! No unemployment, loads of money around for the hard worker. I was a glazier before I retired and my last years pay was $175,000 au. Wouldn't get that in UK. Loved every minute here. The good life is here if you want it.
"I squeezed the best years out of this city before it became an unaffordable hellscape. It still looks the same to me because I haven't left my penthouse since the 90s."
I don't know where the sound file came from, but one thing absent in 1972 was loud Harley davidsons. They started about 1979? Bloody tractor engines!!!
No way! In 1972 we moved to Perth from the farm in Dalwallinu for school. We had the first house built in Greenwood. Back then it was known as Greenwood Village and the bus into town was 359. Prams on the back of the bus, kids used to stand for adults, the sound of the old ticket machines, bus drivers carried cash. We all knew each other back then. Have we evolved?
The biggest difference between then now is how everyone is dressed nicely. Like they actually take time to look good before leaving their house and dressed respectfully...
Already an americanised car dependent city in 1972. I was born in 1972 and I'm thankful I was born in the original Perth. There wasn't much to do here 25 years ago. I can't imagine how boring Perth would have been with 750,000 people.
As an 8 year old kid back then it was never boring .always so much to do .no mobile phones so you had to pedal your bike or walk to your friends and meet up.miss these days
This is the beautiful and boring city I arrived to in the early 90s from the east coast. Still here, but had I first arrived anytime in the past 10 years, I know that I would have kept on moving.
Did you notice the policeman tell the young man to stop leaning on the planter box at about 5' 20"? Compare that to today when we all just tolerate and try to ignore far worse behaviour in the City Centre.
Absolutely. Says a lot about the society we have become because when you keep telling people that the only thing that matters is the individual & making money this is where we end up. Neo-liberalism is a nasty piece of ideology. Peace.
I agree that the Perth in this video is gorgeous, just keep in mind that the people reminiscing over and missing the 'good old days' (and how it's better than the present day) are the same people who were around for or even driving those changes that have lead to the modern Perth. You can still find beauty and community in Perth today, and I hope there will be more efforts for preservation and restoration in the future.
When we had belts of bush land between suburbs and kids (myself included) could take their motorbike down the street and ride all day. Then the greedy councils took every inch and if it wasn’t a house it was a golf course or bunnings. Ruined it for the next generation.
My family came to Perth in 1970 and it was a lot better. Home security wasn't the issue like now. What went wrong was immigration from the wrong places. Just watch the news for evidence.
@thearticulateinfant849 It's an observed situation. Just watch the news Also, the UK is becoming a good example of multiculturalism. Look at the recent incident and responses in Southport. An observed fact is not racist.
Valium was the drug of choice back then, also cigarettes (most people smoked), people used to go to the pub at lunch and get stung, hippies were smoking pot.
Notice at 6:57 the bus conductor gets off the bus to take the baby stroller off the back of the bus. Much faster than getting today's massive prams onto a bus and settled into position then reversing out again.
That was good to see. As a young teen, I used to work at the Boans store in Perth but in early 1972 I was facing a gold card from the Federal government called conscription hahaha.
'The people enjoy a relaxed outdoor way of life'......and they weren't obese either. We may be living longer now but are we healthier & happier? Peace.
when the IQ of the joint was near zero, wall to wall reefers, massive beer gardens, fuel rosters, going bush for sunday pints seeing tripple before the first pints at Yanchep Inn man they were the dayzs, so so ezy living and cheap
Aha, so those guys in uniform who shooed people away from sitting on forbidden ledges or stopped people enjoying themselves were around back then too. I remember in 2004 they were around everywhere, if you swung on a bicycle rack as a kid, one of those guys would appear all of a sudden and challenge you. Don't get that these days thankfully, the world is more free. I wonder where those guys went though?
We came in 74 from London and it felt like going back in time! No colour tv like we had in the UK, no traffic, hardly any people, and Charlie Carter's was the main supermarket with only a few brands of cereals, etc wanted to go back after three weeks, but we went on to have three children and now have six grandkids so here we stay!
@@DianaMcFerran Appreciate that. I've been here since 2011 from the USA. Upon landing, we discovered that, for example, it was a third-world Internet country. :) I have two sons, one born here. I stay for them but will be getting the hell out of here when they are of age. Even they, who have been to the US for only a 3-week Christmas vacation, have stated that they will be moving to the US when they're of age. My wife left in ~1994 never to return, and only pregnancy hormones changed that. I believe she still longs to be far from here.
In 1974, you wanted to go back to the UK for what...the 3 day week, IRA bombings, 2 general elections & garbage piled up on the streets from the garbage collectors strike?! You wanted to go back to THAT!? cue 'take me back to old blighty'

'The people enjoy a relaxed outdoor way of life'......and they weren't obese either. We may be living longer now but are we healthier & happier? Peace.
The narrator’s voice sounds honey warm
perth is best city
90s kids : "omg ! the sky was bluer back then!"
70s:
when the IQ of the joint was near zero, wall to wall reefers, massive beer gardens, fuel rosters, going bush for sunday pints seeing tripple before the first pints at Yanchep Inn
man they were the dayzs, so so ezy living and cheap
Aha, so those guys in uniform who shooed people away from sitting on forbidden ledges or stopped people enjoying themselves were around back then too. I remember in 2004 they were around everywhere, if you swung on a bicycle rack as a kid, one of those guys would appear all of a sudden and challenge you. Don't get that these days thankfully, the world is more free. I wonder where those guys went though?
Getting BJs in Thailand
Privileged to live here 😅😅😅
Back when Commonwealth meant something, now it's common greed ..yet the concrete bus stops are the same.
Who remembers Ivan wandering the streets with his hessian bag collecting bottles out of bins?

Wow. This video is only slightly less boring than Perth.
But life was probably better then too.
We came in 74 from London and it felt like going back in time! No colour tv like we had in the UK, no traffic, hardly any people, and Charlie Carter's was the main supermarket with only a few brands of cereals, etc wanted to go back after three weeks, but we went on to have three children and now have six grandkids so here we stay!
@@DianaMcFerran Appreciate that. I've been here since 2011 from the USA. Upon landing, we discovered that, for example, it was a third-world Internet country. :)
I have two sons, one born here. I stay for them but will be getting the hell out of here when they are of age.
Even they, who have been to the US for only a 3-week Christmas vacation, have stated that they will be moving to the US when they're of age.
My wife left in ~1994 never to return, and only pregnancy hormones changed that. I believe she still longs to be far from here.
In 1974, you wanted to go back to the UK for what...the 3 day week, IRA bombings, 2 general elections & garbage piled up on the streets from the garbage collectors strike?! You wanted to go back to THAT!? cue 'take me back to old blighty'
This was the year when the woke mind virus began to take over all the institutions of Australia.
