Vintage 8mm footage of Adelaide's Glenelg tramway in December 1964 and September 1966. Featuring Adelaide's iconic H type interurban trams. Film taken by Sydney Tramway Museum member Richard Jones.
It’s unfortunate that the technology we have today like cctv didn’t exist back then. The chances of someone in 1966 on that day at that time capturing something on an 8mm moving picture camera would have to be one in a million. It was very expensive to produce to your own home movies back then. A three minute 8mm film cost about the equivalent of $120 in today’s money by the time you got it processed.
@@andrewbaans7400 No one back then even bothered with taking the camera to the beach for fear of damage. You're right of course. Their father only died last year at the age of 92. What a hell of a life.
I liked driving real slow in front of the tram and then watching the conductor complain to the cops at the police station not to forget the driver, giving the horn heaps. What fun times
