This footage was shot about 1973. There are HQ Holdens, XA Falcons and VH Valiants as the most recent of the big three .

Remember their corrupt government? Had a minister of Racing! And built roads and infrastructure to benefit private individuals.The corrupt police force commissioner charged with crimes and politicians too. Eventually led to inquiries and major reforms. This video paints a rosy picture. Great archive to have.

It looks like Queensland was coming along well. It seems to have peaked around that time with cheap energy, cheap housing and land, community cohesion, manufacturing of Australian cars from 3 big companies. Things have certainly changed. We can't even make car manufacturing viable anymore and we now see china-cars on our streets.

Build them out west and have on sight quarters. That’s the way to do it. Get rid of afew unnecessary laws. Stop giving in and appeasing Climate change protester BLM folks and Rioters in general.

Less obesity, more early death and infirmity from smoking. Fewer people needing a shrink for any number of claimed syndromes, higher proportion of suicide and depression from undiagnosed mental health issues. A lot longer time to pay off a car, hi-fi or home loan, but a simpler life needing fewer things on the credit card. Good & bad then, good & bad now.

The 'Bruce Highway' in the 70s and 80s was a joke. Pot-holed, crumbling, narrow, huge drops off the shoulder, flooded every wet season. The Country/Nats party never contributed their share of the cost to maintain. A national link? In Qld, a disaster.

@@hendriksaldua8208 Don's Party is a movie about 70's Australia/Australians. It was made during the time depicted in this youtube vid. It may not have much relevance to your experience other than there was a lot of people cheating with others during "Don's Party". My father was a cheater as well and that's the reason our family moved from the UK to Aus in the early 70's.
