Postcard From Perth
Loading...
Uploaded by FILMAUSTRALIA on Jun 29, 2010
Made by The National Film Board 1954. Directed by Shan Benson. The State Capital of Western Australia, Perth is often the traveller's first glimpse of the Commonwealth and a very happy and sunny glimpse it is. The Swan river and King's Park are outstanding beauty spots in a growing, modern city.

I always knew Perth was a bit backward but didn't realise HOW backward it is. The place looks like something out of the 50's!

Can't believe all of the great buildings that've been knocked over. Never mind the amount of water we had back then. Cut the population in half and get the water flowing again, I reckon.
It's too bad that if someone made this video today, it'd be A) filled with bogans, and B) probably shot by some dickhead who doesn't know how to focus his DSLR.

@fuzzjunky Wow looks different today - but quite beautiful in it's own way. Nice video you should post it as a video response.
