Judith Durham-Morningtown Ride

[bobthebuilder1960]

Which railway was this filmed on?

[Proculled]

@bobthebuilder1960 It's filmed at the Puffing Billy railway in Dandenong ranges outside Melbourne.

What a star , Judith singing this song brings tears to my eyes, brilliant.

[steamfandan]

gosh this will always bring tears to the eyes even as a steam preservationist in the uk

[tegan909]

when i was little i listened to this song every night to put me to sleep. when i have kids im goin to play it to them :)

[roseanne74]

It's a lovely song and she sings it so beautifully ... but it just isn't quite the same without the boys singing with her!!

[Proculled]

@roseanne74 Hmmm,I'm wondering if we will be calling them the boys when they are into their 80s as well?I suppose so,for us they will always be the boys.

[roseanne74]

@Proculled LOL I call them the boys ... but I'm 30 years younger than any of them!!! Yes - they will always be "the boys" to true fans :)

[TerriTheSeeker]

@Proculled Trust me, we'll be calling them 'the boys' after they're dead. Or at least, the media will, and we seem to follow the media's example. And BTW, I'm 25, and I've called them 'the boys' for as long as I can remember... They call themselves 'the boys', if I remember something I read somewhere correctly.

I used to sing this to my children at bed time , now I sing it to my grandchildren and they still like it

[oldfart269]

It's amazing the things that are missed and then later caught. Did anyone notice the little girl sitting on Judith's lap singing along? Very cute! I think the boy in the right foreground was, too, or else he was just moving in time to the music.

[grimTales1]

@oldfart269 I just spotted the little girl singing too (I think she was but I can't hear her) - so cute! :)

[mrgazpacho]

@oldfart269

He's definintely singing along... little kids really bob their heads in time to music when they sing.

[applepie238]

those children are so proud singing and laughing along with judith not knowing in their innocence that they are in the company of a world SUPERSTAR great video judith, this is why you were loved then and very much loved today. xxx

[westlag]

@Ilovecats112233 cos UR narrow-minded and about the only music U understand

[chevyvictor]

Hahah hands up those who sang this when first starting Skool at 5yrs old?

[LittleJimmySouthern]

Had to be in Oz. No way would those children be allowed to sit along the side like that in America!  I like this Video very much.....but for sound I prefer the version with the seekers that Proculled also has.

[askinner621]

No wonder. She has a marvellous voice and she is a legend just like Farnesey.

[nitramgnal]

God, what a voice!

[Ilovecats112233]

I have seen lots of her videos from the 60s, when she was only a few years older than I am. She sounds very different now.

[iowa61]

@Ilovecats112233 Huh? She sounds remarkably the same. A bit lower, more soulful, but very close to 40 years ago. Better than ever in fact...

[roseabeth]

I have had the pleasure of Meeting Judith on 3 occasions and she is one of the nicest ,gentle and kindest people you could wish to meet and i also had the pleasure of travelling on Puffing Billy on 2 occasions when i was in Australia last year so this video really says it all for me with some wonderful memories....absolutely brilliant....what more can i say.

[Michael5191949]

Always had the feeling from her videos and from her website that she is the some in person as the persona she portrays in her videos. Would love meet her.

[bruceandrew7]

This was filmed on "Puffing Billy'in the Dandenongs of Melbourne. The trains still runs daily. whenever i ride the train all i can do is think of Judith and her amazing voice, thank you for the most wonderful memories

[Proculled]

Hmmm,nice to see there is still people out there with fantasy :-)

[Ilovecats112233]

Oh ... is that good or bad?

[Proculled]

Thats good,very good.

[gurna181]

what a beautiful song, reminds me of being a young child when everything was good and nothing mattered

[tnazar]

My feelings exactly. Couldn't have said it better.

[grimTales1]

What a lovely song, a reminder of happier, more innocent times.

[lwkschoy]

This reminds me of my sweetest childhood...

[pattypopping]

You never have to say goodbye to childhood. It is alive in you forever, if you believe. You can still honor it.

[Ilovecats112233]

I watch this often ... thanks for posting it Proculledtwo!

[VealParmigiana]

My guess is that if there is a heaven, and I wouldn't bet on it, Judith will be there, but most of the posters on Youtube won't. Thus my comment, "my guess is that you won't see Judith in heaven".

[VealParmigiana]

My guess is that you won't see Judith in Heaven, but Judith's vocals are phenomenal.

[iowa61]

Nice comment... Psycho.

[BigRIJoe]

If I were that train engineer, I would not have been able to keep my hands off Judith. See you in Heaven, dear one.

[Ilovecats112233]

Yesterday I paused this video and drew Judith with the children gathered around her sitting on her lap. I also did another picture where Glinda the good witch of the North was surrounded by adorable animals, and Judith was in that picture too but as a nightingale. The second picture was from my role-play at a part-magical school/college, and the staff and students/access students in that picture are Animaguses.

[iowa61]

Bet this raked in the donations... Beautiful.

[uubertuu]
