Came across this by accident. I was there! On day 3, as a 10 yo who had never seen tennis played before. It was an instant love story. Loved Lew Hoad but Ken Rosewall was and remained my favourite. I was delighted to see him amongst the elite spectators at the recent Wimbledon final.
VERY interesting indeed! Good to compare the buildings with google maps today. Most of them are long gone. Other items, Jack Perry (zig and zag) was outed after sexual assault accusations in coming years.
I’m finding these reels most interesting and I recognise some of the locations. However wish someone could have done some editing and introduced captions to identify places and what was going on. Narration would be even better. Great work by the volunteers.
Remote controlled Jindivick I knew about but Canberra and Meteor, that was bold. Black Knight and Blue Streak were successful projects, Labor politicians felt differently and scraped it along with TSR2 but Skylark went on to be a very successful platform.
Hats off to the hard work of these volunteers. I was aged about seven when this was being done. I remember well those days lopping up big trees before chainsaws.
It’s absolutely incredible how he explains how much work goes into designing a game and it’s absolutely incredible to think how much content gets cut due to limits and deadlines, makes me wonder how much different shadow of the colossus would have been if they could have finished everything they wanted.
Great to see the main street before the East Gippsland Shire Council ripped out the established shade trees and replaced them with useless small ornamental trees. Another waste of money from a Shire that despises large deciduous shade trees in its towns … 😵
Wow, such an interesting video. Didn’t know Holmesglen looked like this back in the old days, the current one that we have to do this day looks more modern compared to this one
@ACMI Collection - The building under construction at the start isn't the Gas & Fuel towers. And Northland Shopping Centre isn't in the film, either - it's Chadstone. Northland hadn't yet been built...
Port of China now,what stupid Drongo allowed that to happen,total disgrace to all Australians,Traitors in our own Government.you will be sorry in the long run for this disgrace.
This was Hoads best year as a player as he won the first 3 slams only to be thwarted by Kenny at Forest Hills to stop his grand slam quest. Rosewall also prevented Trabert from winning a grand slam as well.
Yes, it has some drawbacks, though. the focal lad is obviously middle class, with access to the hot water, clean clothes, grooming aids that many might have lacked in 1950. And the shot of his lovely ass--surprising in the 1950s--is certainly pleasanter thn this poor chumps general presentation.
OH&S nightmare! some of the guys look like they are stoned. #1 Lesson to be learnt, especially if you know it's being filmed... DO NOT strip down to only your baggy white and do the navy gig 4:02 because when you fall or sit down.. it will look like you shat yourself 5:16
It's crazy Im 33yrs old have eaten countless amounts of goats and sheep. I lived in the middle east for about a decade, in one of the hottest places on earth, hell I've slaughtered and skinned over 50 sheep and goat myself, and I'm just learning what fly strike is lol
