Fine education? My arse. I went from a top class in London to learning nothing but how to be housewife in high school in Adelaide. From the top to the bottom. No choice at all.
I have to say, for the most part people knew how to furnish houses then. Now it's all plastic and aluminium from China. Cheap and nasty. I now live in Queensland where you simply cant get good wooden furniture at all. If you see any for sale, it's in the Southern States.

Where did it all go wrong? I lived in Elizabeth from 1957 through to 1960 . I was in Grade 4, and we lived in Elizabeth Grove, started school in "the South" with Mr Brodie. and moved to Elizabeth Grove Primary under Mrs. Fatchen (wife of the famous Max). We had an Ampol servo over the road, a shopping centre with newsagency, a chippie, Mrs .Dents cafe, Sven Kalins furniture and electrical, doctors, dentists, tennis courts and a scout hut. Marvelous, and all gone now, the place is a ghost town. We walked to school, teased the Catholic kids and their Father priest. Rev Howel Witt was our man, and he became a Bishop of NW Australia. It's industry has gone, no Holdens, Chrysler, Pinnocks, very few have survived the 60 years. So sad.
Those were good days. Hard work wasn't a crime. Give an abo a bottle of *McScruttocks 75% proof Isle of Gruinard Whisky type liquid* + 20 Winfield and he'd work on your land all day! Give his missus something cheap and shiny and she would wait *hand and foot* on Marlene, cook the supper and walk the kids back from school: whilst you drove the old Holden station wagon to Dan's Bar and drank Swan Lager till the sun went down!
When my grandparents moved to Australia in 1970 they were taken to Elizabeth, my grandmother always would say " I didnt move to Australia to live in England". They moved to Hope Valley where they stayed until they died
So many negative comments here bemoaning the way Elizabeth has turned out but there are worse places to live... although I can't think of any right now 🤔
Who in their right mind would want to live in a housing commission house? Welfare state mentality and who the heck wants to work in a factory? Most people aspire to a university degree following a profession or trade.
