I wish they left just one of theses slumish suburbs exactly how it was n 50 years back made it ( just the 0ne ) heritage listed, i just thought it would be great as we could go n step back into time 'say around the 1920's in Darlinghurst or somewhere like that, maybe the cross even as that would have been cool but ya would have been bloody interesting. . 4:04.

It is amazing to think of the migrant family in this film, the two children are now probably grandparents.

Looking at this video I can see that I still live in a 1972 house but I don't mind, I'm way out of town in a farming community and have 2 acres to myself so maybe I am living in the 70s lol

Wow, there was more development in Melbourne in the 70's than there is here now in Adelaide! I don't think we have any residential buildings as tall as the ones in this... We really are behind...

now most people want huge houses as their first home with all the best furniture and trimmings and go into huge debt to get it ,instead of building up to it

What suburbs are these new subdivisions in ..... This film was released in 1972 with footage from 71 and 72

7:00 The fibro kit home would arrive on a truck and you arranged a builder to erect. They would shudder in the wind due to the lack of bracing on the supports. Hot in summer and cold in winter. One we had was made by Hunter Douglas.

This video seems to indicate property was quite expensive, even back in 1972.

A West Australian double-brick house with 3 bedrooms, kitchen, 1 bathroom, a family room and lounge room on a large block (3/4 acre) in an outer suburb could be built for less than $30,000 in 1973. A similar home on a smaller block (1/4 acre) could be purchased second hand in 1997 for $105,000. Such opportunities for the current generation of twenty-somethings are simply not possible. There are no wide-scale Government housing developments such as West Australia's State Housing Commission any more. Why???

@williamcrossan9333 2 года назад

@@BrassLock Indeed, this is true. So many property spruikers seem to think anyone can duplicate this, as if this sort history will repeat. Of course that would need median prices to go to 20 to 25 times income.

At 4.46 would that be Eastlakes in Sydney where all those flats are?

That's a good bet. Narration does mention industrial areas at that point.
