Eyes To See

Sydney is sinking. The harbour is rising. An anxious young scientist breaks through the cover-up and lays out the facts. The bedrock beneath us is angling into the sea like a see-saw, and too much construction is tipping the balance. Like Atlantis before us, we'll soon pay the price for our greed. (Concept Award & Overall Winner, 7th National Youth Film Festival, 1983).

@videowilliams Your going to miss Xmas, so merry xmas to you and the family, and have a wonderful and safe new years.

Next time i spot this ad i'll try and write down what its about so i can find it and show you.

I felt the Yaris had better leg room, we once had 5 in a yaris smallest was myself 5-10 and only 1 of the 5 was under 100kg not me lol.

@SlickHolden I'll be back in Oz on January 20th, landing in Melbourne. Haven't recorded any television voice-overs I'm aware of but would love to get into that line: at several hundred dollars an hour, it's money for jam!

I drove a little Toyota Corolla across the U.S. 4 years ago and that was good too, but I still missed my roomy big Holden. I could never push that compact driver's seat back far enough to be comfortable, and all the controls felt fiddly- made for little fingers.

@videowilliams My hindi is rusty never used basically lol. How long you gone for. And i swear we just had an ad on the tv and the voice sounded like yours! seriously.

I actually had fun driving the little 4 cylinder surprisingly comfy over the long trip, and very tight and light through bends :).

[videowilliams]

@SlickHolden Oh I've been spoiled in terms of the language. Bought some books for learning Hindi but my friends here all speak English so I've barely opened them. I sure do envy your country road trip: that's the first thing I intend to treat myself to on returning to Oz.

[SlickHolden]

@videowilliams lollollollol sounds like driving in the city:p. I just came back from a country trip and loved the people on and off the roads. its good respectable people up country way not like the city. So how is Indian had any trouble or your fluent?.

[videowilliams]

@SlickHolden Yeah, every time I think I've deduced some rule of the road, whatever Indian I'm driving with corrects me: "There are no rules." So traffic moves along like particles in a river, basically following the principles of boating: take whatever gap you see, give way to whoever's vehicle's larger, try not to get hit...

[SlickHolden]

@videowilliams Tata to your reputation lol. Hows the drivers over there i hear they can take over the roads and ignore lanes signals etc.

[videowilliams]

@SlickHolden I have been riding round in a Tata actually- a Nano subcompact- and it turns out to be good reliable rugged engineering, well designed to handle bad roads much like a Holden!

@raw5069 Mate, thanks for all of these responses which I'm just about watch. It's been ages since I had one- now you've given me three at once! And thanks as well for your subscription (which is a favour I just returned). I guess the thing about predicting the end of the world is that you're bound to be right someday. For sure it's hard to watch the news these days and not detect a flavour of apocalypse...
