Well done Pugs !!

This looks like the FULL version of the colour film aired during QTQ 9s 30th Anniversary special in 1989.

Great to see the whole thing !!

I love the old news reel voice overs with their fancy pronounciations "Saint Loo-see-a" (4:43).

I arrived in Brisbane from England in 1960 and remember it well. It was a lovely place to live then. Peaceful, almost crimeless, no drugs then. Gee I wish it were still like that.
