My parents have that model TV on the left they bought in the 70’s, still working. AWA I think is the brand. That tv got a lot of use in the 80’s and 90’s.
I wish they would bring these back I gave up mobiles after the flood. I want to be young again . a lot of good and bad things about that era . the late 80s and 90s were the best.
I always thought it was a bit rough to be paying for a long stretch of the former 'South Eastern Freeway'- which had already been paid for by Victorian taxpayers. But what would I know? Throwing sand at the media- a classic Kennett move. I'm by no means a fan of his policies or his political agenda (I would never vote Liberal in my life), but at least he had a sense of humour. I became friends with one of his kids, who felt similarly to myself about many of his father's political decisions. It must have been hell at times, having an association that's beyond your control. Thanks for the U/L. It's always good to see historic footage of Melbourne.
Not as iconic fall damaging as the "Big Red" or "Heavy Green" more alittle classy and found in many malls or shopping centres. In the 90's there was a blue version with a black handle etc.
I remember the blue one but it was a way different design with the hand set on the face of the machine . They were generally on a stand with a little open box for a phone book and they do were digital in number dialing and had a small screen they were dark blue . The orangecone were much better quality and never seemed to break the blues always had a problem though .cheers
I think that the train is either a Hitachi or a Harris type. Pretty jumpy and optimistic television ad but come forth after 39+ years here?! There is little for melbournians to be happy about now in 2023 regarding voting etc.
Such creativity and enthusiasm here!!! I was thoroughly entertained by these ads but 80's TV ads always delivers unlike today's mindless tripe which always condescending and irritating...
I sadly never really got to travel on the once iconic orange livery of V/Line in the 1980's but I do remember it alot. It wasn't until 2017 that I got travel on them and they were so-so at best.
Farmers were once highly regarded and respected in the 1980's. They were seen as a national icon or a hero, we even excursions to farms as well. Nowadays you barely hear about them except their struggles to times of self deletion, hiring pack packers and involved with many other suss activities. That guy looks alike the guy from the late 90's to early 2000's Danoz Direct promoter....It's a bit sad really with our farmers.
the thing I hate the most about it is that I was alive at this time and easily could have seen it end, even if i would have had no clue what was going on.
@@namachef oh absolutely! it can be a little sad though if something happened that interests you years later but you missed it because you didn't care at the time
A core memory for me. Back then it was scary, my grandma horrified me with End of the World & Y2K Bug scares in the news, as computers might read 1/1/1900 instead of 1/1/2000. I was 10 yrs old, worried about everything turning dark & collapsing after countdown. Everything turned out alright ❤️ The best fireworks display from many countries that we’ve seen on television. Now I miss my grandma, and the people gathering & celebrating without getting scared or hurt 🥲
3:10 Had to have a bit of a giggle here. Victoria ain't going SG any time soon, the MBRP showed that our state governments are too cheap to ever actually get around to doing it beyond where absolutely necessary. (ie. What's already been converted)
Wow, they recorded even in my country! In my country, the program was broadcasted on TVP2, under the name of "Świat wita 2000 rok", which means: "World welcomes the year of 2000". This part was called (in Poland, yep) "Włochy - błogosławieństwo Papieża, Północ w Europie" - "Italy - Pope's blessing, Midnight in Europe", that recordings were from polish broadcast, called "Warszawa wita 2000 rok", which means: "Warsaw welcomes 2000". I'm Małgorzata, from Poland, I'm from village of Sobolew, Lublin voivodeship and I live in Krakow.
A new beginning is beautiful and poignant I was only a few months old at the turn of the century but it is good to see the excitement and hope for the future . When now in 2022 things are a little bit scary
