No sun protection for those poor backs!
bring back the Queensland Department of Commercial and Industrial Development & housing commission.
I went through a plethora of emotions watching this video....almost as spell binding as the video of the Department of main Roads making a road.

Idiot.
Back in the day when things were made properly and beautifully . Brilliant engineers with failey basic tools . RAH
You'd have to seriously be smoking crack to watch that all the way through!!!
Looking at the old type-written records, I was struck how neat and legible the antique report seemed while the host was glancing through the file...with the strong contrast (yet tight integration) between the black ink of the official report and the red ink of witnesses. Many practices during the low-tech olden days might have been time-consuming, inefficient and inconvenient as hell. But I really wonder if we haven't lost some clarity, some coherence in our communications among each other, relying so casually on our wonderful machines to make everything so easy, clean and pretty. I'm not much of a stickler for formality, and I'm not nostalgic for days past. But occasionally you see something simple, without a lot of bells and whistles, something that just plain works, and you have to respect that.
When this was made, the Gold Coast was a great place.
It was an entertaining time to someone up from Melbourne. I used to love going into The Valley to an illegal gambling den up a dark flight of stairs. All that is gone now from Brisbane and it is now a boring city. Strange - I lived there for 24 years.
i live here currently. such a nicer place before mass migration and insane house price inflation. need a million dollars for an average house here now
still continues to this day, includes all Asians now. Sigh in the era of information and knowledge you would think they should know better as they are from Europe who stole Aboriginal land, but no. Born and raised in Brisbane, if riots against Chinese ever happened again, it will be like Warrior season 2 Enter the Dragon episode where racist whites enter China Town and the Chinese gangs join together to fight back,
It’s weird because there’s places I’ve been in this video
Was that John Farnham singing? These were great times.
As a young child probably very early 70s, my family often went to Redcliff, with its lovely beaches. Fond memories. I would take my son there too in the late 80s.
Brisbane was beautiful back in the day. Parks, flowers, trees, fountains. Its just a concrete block now
Brings back memories of the Pioneer Busses that would pass by my Home in the 50's
This was the year before Cyclone Althea hit on Christmas Eve 1971, I was 5 years old at the time, and my family were hold up at our home on the Esplanade, the house survived, but sadly the town was badly devastated.
I remember in the early 90's when i was a service tech at Dick Smith Electronics in Briso fixing an answering machine for Mr Fitzgerald. Amazing times
He was our very own William Wallace. My great grandfathers brother.
Look at that young Alan McGirvan.

Rose tinted glasses make it seem wonderful. It was a fascinating era but think of the much more primitive medical treatment, and the draconian white Australia policy then in force, and the ongoing racism and homophobia...
Slim people no tats,fillers, steroids ,few drugs and no mobile phones .
The current residents of Redcliffe couldn’t understand what the Hornibrook Highway actually meant to us okd timers. Watching the cars in this video bounce their way over the bridge sure bought back some memories. Thanks
Joe and his greedy deveiopers ruined a once lovely enviro. Wouldnt go there now if i was paid. What a sad ending, now evident across many a once similar locales across the country.
oh to go back to those days
I really like how the 80s cameras made things look it’s just really appealing to me especially how it contrasts with the blues of the sky and the water wow it really looks awesome
That panel looks very white!
It would be great to see this film & others like it restored & released on Blu-ray. The BFI does it for english historical films like those of Humphrey Jennings. Why can't Australia do the same sort of releases.
Gold coast WTF?
won the war in the west already. never knew any queen in the east before. east queens (home systems?) showed up on earth. May 31, 2024. was there a land that existed on the east side of Australia in history as a part of New Zealand (not sealand)? map of Australia: Western Australia👌 Northern Territory👌 South Australia 👌 Queensland❓New South Wales❓Victoria❓
lol @ warning. How primitive.
Wait who is the narrarator guy and also what type of film was this shot on cuz I love this type of film cuz it looks beautiful in my opinion
Expo 88 was an awesome experience. I really got the sense of global solidarity that was positive about the future...and now, here 2024, it appears the world has been hijacked by globalists (UN,WHO,WEF) hell-bent on world domination.
This is the kind of video that Millennials and Gen Z have absolutely no idea about, and need to see - the way Australia used to be, and not the absolute mess it is these days, and as such, they don't know how good Australia can be again.
I went to the GC for the first time since the early 90's a couple of years ago and couldn't believe how much more built up it was. Massive high rises everywhere. Looking at this footage it's funny at how bare it looks without so many high rises.
This was really AWESOME to watch. I grew up in Holland Park , and I was only a young kid when the SE Freeway was built. But I remember when the homes in the path of the Freeway , were removed at Holland Park West & Ekibin, As I watch this now in 2024 it's mind blowing to see the work conditions . No WHS back in 1969. And what about all the construction workers - shirtless - slaving away under the hot Brisbane sun. Well done gentleman , for a job very very well done
The day's when people had pride in themselves and didn't eat like there was no tomorrow. When we made holdens and tolerated fords ha-ha. When most places didn't look like a suburb of New Delhi. When we had local and national news coverage without it being swamped with American b.s.. No wokes and other assorted brain dead. No f-king McDonalds and other assorted muck from the septic's. No rap or hip hop. When bloody lawyers new their place and didn't over breed. When there were 2 genders.
Grub. Reminds me of Kerry Packer bragging he doesn’t pay taxes, and union workers applauding him. The working man applauding the bloke robbing his kitchen.
this is called life
The film is great, but the background music is horrendous...
Saw something last night
I live in Brisbane and although is wasn’t alive in 1988 to see expo 88 I’m so proud of expo and Brisbane at the time especially because expo88 marks the turning point from the Joh Bejke Peterson era to the start of Brisbane now and the transition it’s made from sleepy country town to major world centre
The fifties sixties seventies.what great years to be alive.
3:39 those dudes are loose AF compared to today's standards.
As a queenslander I can verify not one chemtrail was spotted in any of this footage and qld was sunny, that's why it is called the sunshine state.
