I am third generation Australian. Wonderful old film of Perth streets around the time my family migrated to Australia from New Zealand and England. The film was made in 1908 from the National Film and Sound Archives.

Some of these poor buggers would be fighting at Gallipoli just 7 years later!

Not even 1 minute in and there were already people brawling on the street. Perth hasn't changed that much lol

Yes. Level of urbanization and traffic and rush on the roads are just like they are in these days. Design of the bicycles too is very similar to these days. However, people look lean and more active than these days. Moreover, they appear to have a craze for industrial urbanization which is missing in these days.

When ever I see one of these videos it always hits home, every single person in this clip are dead and it’s kind of upsetting. Great to watch but always difficult to.

Beautiful we can clearly see how Australian lady’s and gentleman’s are very well dressed and we don’t see half naked women on the streets unlike these days which is very common now.

Amazing how the convicts built up a civilization in such a relatively short time..

@thevannmann Жыл бұрын

Actually, Perth started off as a free settler colony for 2 decades then had some convicts but the majority were free settlers.

@Jeffery_Saulter Жыл бұрын

I think it’s more amazing that the ‘natives’ spent 80,000 years doing nothing.

@brettmitchell6431 Ай бұрын

WA was founded by free sellers. The convicts came later and were generally farm workers, although there were plenty of skilled convicts.

@@Jeffery_Saulter Why is native in quotation marks when they are without a doubt native to Australia in the same way Germans are native to Germany.

This is nearly 80 years post settlement so, no Eta: Perth was settled by free settlers so I guess they built quite a bit

There isn't a single motorcar even though it is 1908. Everybody, men and women, is wearing a hat and there are no small children whatsoever.
