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 remember every building, ,, trams. Trolley buses, king’s Park without a Brewery building in sight. Perth is still home to me. What a fantastic video to see and reminisce about what we had and what we have become. A humongous City with new suburbs that have grown out of nowhere. No pine plantation left. No easy pace of life. High rise buildings are the norm. I’m too bloody old to like what is happening. But Perth is, and will be home forever.

Pre-1950's Perth (CBD) had so many wonderful old buildings it was amazing. But business wanted a 'new' modern-looking city and money talks the loudest, so the victorian-era buildings were demolished so hideous office towers and ugly commercial buildings could move in. It's ironic how most of those ugly 1950's-60's buildings in the CBD have now been demolished and replaced with newer ugly buildings. You can't stop progress but we still need to limit how destructive it is on historical sites.

I've had no interest in visiting Perth because it always looked so uninteresting from what I could see with the corporate buildings and no apparent charm. But the Perth in this video looks very appealing. I'd definitely want to visit if it was still like this. But surely there must be pockets here and there in the city where it's not just concrete towers?

I'm from New Zealand and first visited Perth with my family in May 1981 as a 14 years old.I immediately had a strong connection with Perth's beauty and revisited in 1987 , living there for 8 months on Monash Ave in Nedlands behind Kings Park. A great location being close to the beautifully designed University and Swan River along beautiful suburbs such as Dalkeith and Cottesloe.The Indian ocean and it's beaches were simply wonderful playgrounds. Revisited 18 months later in 1989 for a week on my way to England and then again with my wife in 1993. Perth has grown rapidly since then and I hope that hasn't had a negative effect on what I classed as Australia's gem city.

what a time-tunnel trip this one is!! This was filmed in the year I arrived in Oz and brought back a huge array of memories. For all that many of the buildings were quite striking, they weren't actually "old", they weren't genuine renaissance or medieval buildings - just mid-20thcentury reproductions for the most part. Let 'em go, I say. Europeans and Brits are paying through the nose for one series of renovations and upgrades after another to keep their old piles useable. Forget 'em, we've got better and more ethical things to spend our hard-earned pennies on.

You will never again see such an overflow. All the Perth water catchment dams these days are all interconnected. meaning if low rain fall in one area they can pump water from a dam that had good rainfall and vice versa.When a dam gets close to full, they divert the water to a dam that needs filling, thus spreading the catchment abilities.

@sharonhammill Well, I heard Fran Kelly on the ABC pronounce Trangie ,Trangee, Narromine as Narromeen and Canowindra as it is spelt instead of Canowndra.

It's sad to watch this old footage and see how Perth's history has been destroyed along with it's culture. It was such a friendly place up until the early 80's, shame it has been transformed into such an antisocial shithole today.

Your negativity is worn as a dark shroud, contaminating your world view. I lived in Perth from 1952 to 2000, and made one of my regular visits in Sept 2017. I found Perth to be more multicultural in the city, but just as friendly and beautiful wherever I travelled, from Clarkson in the north, to Rockingham in the south.
